Indianapolis, Ind. - Competing in the best Division II tournament in the country this week, the fifth-ranked University of Findlay women's golf team come home as champions of the UIndy Invitational hosted by the University of Indianapolis. The two-day tournament concluded on Tuesday, Sep. 12 and was held at Prairie View Golf Club. The Oilers won with a team score of 886 (+22), the sixth-best 54-hole score in program history. Ranked teams in the tournament included #1 Dallas Baptist, #2 Lynn, #8 Indianapolis, #17 Grand Valley State, and #24 Missouri-St. Louis. This is the first time Findlay has opened the fall season with a team tournament win since 2014 when they kicked off the year with a victory at the Lake Superior State Invitational.
Junior
Mary Kelly Mulcahy earned medalist honors, taking home the win after shooting 70 (-2) on the day. That gives her a 54-hold score of 212 which is second-best all-time at UF. Mulcahy won the event by five shots and was the only player to finish under par. Shooting sub-par in her final two rounds, M. Mulcahy was the only player in the field with multiple rounds in the red. The win is the fourth of M. Mulcahy's career, putting her just two wins shy of tying teammate
Gabby Woods at six wins, the most in the NCAA era of the women's golf program at Findlay.
Quote from Head Coach Dominic Guarnieri
"Obviously winning is always great. The thing that was most impressive was shooting the best round of the day (as a team) by ten shots. This week was a total team effort. We are looking forward to the rest of the fall to see what we can do. Mary Kelly played exceptional golf, playing her last 30 holes bogey-free. Overall, it was great to start the year with a team and individual win."
