Peru, Ind. - The University of Findlay women's golf team, ranked third in the country, picked up its first win of the year on Tuesday, Sep. 10 at the Midwest Ladies Collegiate in Peru, Indiana.  The event, which the Oilers co-hosted with Missouri- St. Louis, is being held at Rock Hollow Golf Club. The three day, 54-hole event features 16 teams including #3 Findlay, #9 Indianapolis and #16 Central Missouri. 

After leading through 36 holes yesterday, the Oilers finished the job on Tuesday, carding a team score of 294 (+6), finishing the tournament with a 54-hole score of 875 (+11), the ninth-best three-round team score in program history. The 25-shot victory was the sixth tournament win of the calendar year for Findlay, which won five tournaments in the spring of last season.

The Oilers placed four players in the top ten of the event and were led by senior Erin Mulcahy who finished runner-up on the individual leader board with a 54-hole score of 214 (-2), the seventh-best three-round total in program history. In Tuesday's final round, E. Mulcahy was one-under through her first nine holes before making birdies on 10, 12, and 16, taking the lead. A double bogey on the final hole slid her into second place position, however the finish is still the highest finish of her career and is the tenth time she has finished in the top ten.

Just behind was Erin's sister, senior Mary Kelly Mulcahy, who finished third with a Tuesday round of 75 (+3) after a pair of 71's on Monday. Her 54-hole score was a 217 (+1). Tying for fifth was sophomore Ashleigh Duflo who shot a 221 (+5) for the event after a 73 (+1) on Tuesday. Rounding out the top-ten finishers was junior Hayley Dye who posted a 76 (+4) to end the event in a tie for ninth with a 54-hole score of 223.
