Grove City, Pa. - Franciscan Women's Golf opened up the spring semester at Grove City on a warm but blustery day. The Barons placed seventh out of 10 teams, while besting three fellow PAC schools in the process.

Results

How it Happened
Natalie Smith led the Barons with a 97. The freshman was able to bogey seven of her final eight holes and made a par on #13. Lauren David delivered a 100 with a par of pars scattered on her scorecard. Chloe Puhl shot a 104 with a team-high three pars throughout her up-and-down round. Katie Black shot a 108 to round out the top four scorers for the Barons. Brooke Biagi made her season debut with a 116, including back-to-back pars on #12 and #13. 

That resulted in a team score of 409, which is one shot off their best performance at Grove City Country Club. That 408 came in 2024. 

Westminster won the event with a team score of 335. Emily Burling of Grove City was the medalist with a 78, the lone player in the 70s. 

Up Next
Franciscan is scheduled to return to competition at Washington & Jefferson on April 13th. They will compete in the Rossin Memorial Invitational at Southpointe Golf Club. The Barons placed 6th out of seven teams at that event last season with a 472.
