Farmington, Pa. - The University of Findlay women's golf team, ranked second in the country, wrapped up play as the host of the 2024 Intercollegiate at Nemacolin which was held at Mystic Rock Golf Course on the grounds of the Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Battling a challenging layout and lightning-fast greens, the Oilers earned the tournament victory, posting a 54-hole score of 872 (+8), the ninth-best three-round score in program history. To earn the victory, Findlay staved off three nationally ranked teams including #17 Grand Valley State, #20 North Georgia, and #25 Indianapolis.Â

The Oilers flexed their muscle during play this week, posting a tournament-high 46 birdies as a team, 15 more birdies than Indianapolis which was second in that stat. Findlay also avoided the big number, making the fewest double-bogeys or worse and third-fewest bogeys in the event.Â

Earning her second individual win of the fall and the 12th of her career, senior Mary Kelly Mulcahy was outstanding once again. The Lima, Ohio native finished her second round at even-par (72) and then posted a 71 (-1) in the final round to finish the tournament at 208 (-8), five shots clear of second place and one of just two players to finish under par on the week. Her two-round total of 137 (-7) is the second-best in program history while her 54-hole score of 208 is also tied for second at UF. Mulcahy led the tournament in Par 4 scoring at eight under, an average of 3.73.Â

Putting together the best tournament of her young career, freshman Gracie James secured her first top five finish with the Oilers, finishing solo third with a score of 217 (+1) that included a second-round score of 69 (-3), her best 18-hole score as a member of the Orange and Black. James did most of her damage on the Par 5s where she led the field with a scoring average of 4.42, playing those holes at seven under par, including a pair of eagles, the most in the field.Â
Â
Erin Mulcahy also had a top five finish, securing all-tournament honors in the event with a fourth-place finish, her fourth top ten of the fall campaign. E. Mulcahy fired a 220 (+4) after wrapping up round two with a 77 (+5) and closing the tournament with a 72 (E) in the final round. She was tied for fourth in the field in Par 5 scoring at three-under and was second in Par 3 scoring at one under, including Monday's hole-in-one.Â
