Women’s golf places 4th at Bradley Invitational

Eastern’s women’s golf team recorded a fourth-place tie with host Bradley at the Bradley Invitational in Peoria over the weekend.

The Panthers competed at the par 72, 6,092-yard, WeaverRidge Golf Club against nine other schools.

Redshirt freshman Tiffany Wolf led all Panther golfers with a three-round total of 238 to tie for 13th place. Junior Lauren Williams followed with a 240 as she tied for 18th, while Junior Emily Calhoon tied for 24th with a score of 243.

Other Panthers that contributed to the team’s success were senior Kathryn Koester and sophomore Emily Fitzgerald, who placed tied for 29th and 55th, respectively.

Northern Iowa took the top spot in both team and individual honors. Southern Illinois placed second, and Indiana State finished third.

The next event for the women will be their last of the season. They have two weeks to prepare for the OVC Championships in Nashville, Tenn., at the Greystone Golf Course, April 21-24. The women will need to get to work in order to improve last year’s finish of sixth place out of eight schools.
