RESULTS

WARREN, Ohio – Three freshmen carded scores of 75 or better to help the Bucknell women's golf team to a strong 301 team total in the final round of the Youngstown State Spring Invitational on Monday at Avalon Lakes Golf Course. The Bison finished in third place in the team standings, one stroke behind YSU for second.

Nicole Yun fired a 1-over-par 73, classmates Sofia Nogalo and Katherine Vice both followed with 75s, and senior Kelsey Yi also contributed to the scoring with a 78.

Bucknell posted a 614 total for 36 holes, finishing behind Akron (602) and Youngstown State (613) and well ahead of La Salle (659), Saint Francis (661), and Mercyhurst (673). The Zips were four shots off the lead heading into the final round but passed the Penguins with a 296 tally on Monday.

Vice was the low Bison for the week, finishing alone in fifth place with a 152 (77-75) total. Yi also finished in the top 10, placing T-9th with a pair of 78s for a 156 total.

Yun started her round with a birdie at the tough par-4 opening hole, and she finished with 12 straight pars to shoot 73. Nogalo and Vice made two birdies apiece, with Nogalo's coming in succession at holes 12 and 13.

Akron's Hridhika Vora closed with a 68 to win medalist honors with an even-par 144. Teammate Abbi Fleiner was second at 146.

Bucknell will be back in action this Saturday and Sunday at the Navy Spring Invitational, and then the Bison will host the 2024 Patriot League Championship at Bucknell Golf Club on Apr. 19-21.
