BGSU women’s golf wrapped up fall competitive play yesterday by placing fourth out of a field of thirteen teams at the Loyola Parkinson Family Invitational. 

The two-day invitational was hosted by Loyola-Chicago and held at the Merit Club, a par-72, 6,041-yard course. 

Sophomore Sammie Dolce’s 217-stroke finish (+1) moved her to fourth in program history for the best 54-hole score and tied her for third place individually. 

“Special shout out to sophomore Sammie Dolce with her third-place individual performance,” head coach Erin Fahey said. “She showed a lot of poise and grit throughout all three of her rounds.” 

Freshman Macie Elzinga concluded her first fall season of competition by finishing tied for 18th. 

As a team, BGSU women’s golf has finished top five in three of their four tournament appearances this season.

Fahey applauded the team’s play during the match and the fall season. 

“The team battled through it during the first day and managed to post the second-best score of the second round, which put us in a great spot heading into the last round. Today, they kept their heads down and stuck to their game plan to fight all the way to the end, securing a fourth-place team finish,” Fahey said. “Overall, coach [Noah] Barth and I are very pleased with our entire fall season. We saw a lot of success on the golf course from our entire team, which as a coach is exactly what you want to see.” 

As the Falcons head into their offseason, they will look to improve and prepare for the upcoming 2025 spring season.
