Women’s golf places third at Lourdes Spring Invitational

OTTAWA LAKE, Mich. – The Defiance College women's golf team continued their strong spring play with a third place finish at the Lourdes Spring Invitational at The Legacy Golf Club in Ottawa Lake, Mich. on Wednesday. The Yellow Jacket quartet of Winter Boroff, Isabelle Vance, Mari Najar and Cassady Van Dyke compiled a team round of 374 to trail only Indiana Tech and Aquinas for the team's highest finish of the 2022-23 season in an invitational that included more than four teams.

Boroff (Convoy, Ohio/Lincolnview) was DC's top finisher for the third tournament in a row with a 92 round to finish tied for 14th. All four Yellow Jacket golfers finished within three strokes of each other as Vance (Continental, Ohio/Miller City) carded a 93 followed by Najar (Adrian, Mich./Madison) with a 94 and Van Dyke (Marysville, Ohio/Marysville) at 95.

Boroff and Najar each shot 46 on the front nine while Boroff, Van Dyke and Vance all recorded that same number of strokes on the back nine.

Defiance's 374 is the second-lowest team score of the spring season.

The Legacy Club played tough for the entire field of 65 players with the lowest round coming from Indiana Tech's Jenna Boucher at 81, nine shots over par. Indiana Tech'sn 335 title-winning team round was fueled by claiming the top three spots in the tournament. 

The next match for the women's golf team is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at the John Carroll Spring Invitational at Manakiki Golf Course in Willoughby, Ohio.
