STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The Bucknell women's golf squad wrapped up a solid weekend with a 316 team score on Sunday to finish 14th in a strong field at Penn State's Nittany Lion Invitational. Katie Childers led the way with a 5-over-par 77 in the final round, while Casey Morrow and Meredith Langs added 79s.
The Bison posted team totals of 308 and 309 on Saturday, and they counted at least three scores in the 70s in all three rounds. With a 933 total, Bucknell defeated Yale and Ohio, while finishing seven shots behind 13th-place Akron.
