BGSU women’s golf traveled to Manhattan, Kansas yesterday to compete in the two-day Powercat Invitational at the par 72, 6,439-yard Colbert Hills Golf Course.  

Moving up five spots throughout the last two rounds, the Falcons finished in fifth place with a score of 912 (+48). This marks their second Top 5 finish this season, the first time the team has achieved such a start since the 2018-2019 season. 

“I am very pleased with our performance at this event,” said head coach Erin Fahey. “This was a very demanding golf course, and the team stayed committed to the game plan and stayed patient throughout the entire event.” 

Sophomore Ava O’Sullivan shot 75-73-73-221(+5) and +1 over par in the second and third rounds, earning her a seventh-place overall finish, the highest on the team. 

Erin Fahey compliments O’Sullivan, “She played some fantastic golf and showed poise throughout the entire event.” 

Freshman Macie Elzinga finished No. 16, shooting 80-70-74-224 (+8). In the second round, Elzinga shot 70 (-2), a new career round low and her first time shooting under par as a Falcon. 

The Falcon’s next test will come Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Diane Thomason Invitational at Iowa University in Iowa City, Iowa.
