FROM THE CLUBHOUSE
"I'm so proud of the team. They battled all the way down the stretch each round. Although we came up a few shots short of the team victory, I thought the team played very well. We were able to travel all nine players this week, which makes this event even more special. Congratulations to Ava O'Sullivan on her first collegiate victory as a Falcon! She showed an immense amount of poise and grit to secure the win. We have a few things to clean up going forward for our few events of the fall." – Erin Fahey, BGSU head women's golf coach
