From the Clubhouse
""I am really proud of the way the team improved each round throughout the tournament. To move up four spots on the leaderboard during the final round is a big deal and a testament to our game plan and focus going into today. Huge shoutout to Kayla Davis for shooting one under, 71, today! She was one of three players to shoot under par in round three. MacKenzie Moore had a great tournament for us as well. She played a lot of solid golf this week. We needed to get off to a faster start during the first round to really have a good chance at our goal of a top - finish. We are looking forward to cleaning up a few things before hitting the road again in a few days for our next event!"– Erin Fahey, BGSU women's golf head coach
