YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The Cleveland State women's golf team wrapped up their first tournament of the fall season on Tuesday, Sept. 14, finishing the Roseann Schwartz Invitational in third place. The Vikings will be back in action on Monday, Sept. 20 and Tuesday, Sept. 21 at the Cardinal Classic.
QUOTE TO NOTE
"Overall I was happy with our performance over the twin days. It was the start that we were looking for and I know that we can build from here looking at the rest of the season. Today the course played more difficult and we dealt with some wind and very firm conditions. I think the team handled everything that came their way and battled hard to finish the way we did. Sabrina played well both days, she was opportunistic when she got chances today. We are looking forward to the chance to build from the positives and sharpen some parts of our game that will help us save some shots in our next event." - Ryan Williams
