Vice Earns Patriot League Women's Golfer of the Week After Individual Championship at Bucknell Invitational

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Junior Katherine Vice was named the Patriot League women's golfer of the week after winning the individual championship at the Bucknell Invitational to open fall play for the Bucknell women's golf team. Vice finished 10-over par for the 54-hole tournament as the Bison went on to defeat the field as a team by 33 strokes. Vice was also named Bison of the Week on Monday for her performance over the weekend.

Vice sat in the co-lead after the first round, posting a 72 (+2), but dropped down the leader board after shooting a 77 in round two. The junior hung around the top of the leader board during the third round, and carded an eagle on the par-five 15th hole and birdied the 18th to make a run at the leaders.

Vice ultimately entered a friendly playoff with freshman teammate Joelle Johnson, and Vice took the match on the second playoff hole.

Her 71 was a career-low score, and her mark of one-over par matched her career best. Her 72 in the first round was a career-low before beating that mark in the third round.
