The Falcons women’s golf team put up a valiant effort over the weekend but eventually poor play and nasty weather did them in as they finished 12th of 15 teams last weekend at Bradley University’s Grand Prairie Collegiate Classic in Peoria, Ill. The Falcons scored a disappointing 638 in the weather-shortened event, a score they will need to improve on if they hope to be competitive in the season ending Mid-American Conference Championships which is scheduled for the end of April. The event, which was originally scheduled for three days was shortened to a weekend meet as snow was in the forecast most of Illinois on Monday. The one bright spot for the Falcons came on the second day when sophomore Marisa Glew stroked a six iron 128 yards off the tee and directly into the hole, recording an ace for the Falcons on what was otherwise a frustrating weekend. ‘When I hit it I knew it was a good shot,’ Glew said. ‘I was having a really tough round up until that point, and I didn’t really celebrate when it went in. I told myself ‘Finally, I caught a break.” As happy as Glew and her teammates were about the hole in one effort, the team couldn’t help but be disappointed by their performance as a whole. ‘We put in a lot of work all winter,’ Glew said. ‘So to come out and play like we have the last two weeks is frustrating.’ Coach Stephanie Young knows her team is not where they need to be heading into the busiest month on their schedule. ‘We are disappointed with the entire tournament,’ Young said. ‘We have to get home and work on some thing. With only four events left in the season we need to make some strides as a team. We have some good things happening, but we are not meeting our expectations.’ Sophomore Megan Bader thinks the team needs to focus on the positives. ‘We have to remember our good rounds,’ Bader said. ‘We will be working from a forward tee this week in practice; it should help us with our confidence.’ The Falcons would welcome a confidence booster as soon as possible as they are due back on the course Saturday in Eastern Kentucky for the EKU Lady Colonel Classic.
