Final Results

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO -- Junior Brooke Hamilton (Cleveland/ St. Joseph Academy) fired a career-low 79 and was one of three players to post career-bests as the defending Ohio Athletic Conference champion Baldwin-Wallace College women's golf team ended an outstanding five-tournament fall season today (Sunday, October 9, 2011). In addition to Hamilton, sophomore Rebecca Jones (Hilliard/ Darby) also had a career-best round today.

As a team, the Yellow Jackets placed seventh at the annual Wittenberg University Pat Clouse "Clash at the Clouse" Fall Invitational Tournament at the Windy Knoll Golf Course in Springfield, Ohio. This was the most difficult fall schedule in the history of the program.

B-W saved its best for last as it shot its best round of the fall on the final day (today) when it totalled 324 strokes on the par-71 and 5,860-yard Windy Knoll G.C. layout.  The 324 strokes bettered the previous best of 336 strokes during the annual Heidelberg University Invitational on the par-72 and 6,685-yard Mohawk Country Club layout on Oct. 24.

Overall, B-W totalled 670 strokes to place seventh in a group of school that finished ahead of it and included four ranked NCAA Division III schools (Washington, Mo. University; DePauw, Ind. University; host Wittenberg; and Allegheny, Pa. College), an NAIA power (Bellarmine, Ky. University) and a very strong NCAA Division II team (Walsh University).  B-W ended its fall season with a 27-20 overall record.

Today, Hamilton fired a 79 to go with her first day 81 to finish with 160 strokes and place tied for 13th individually of 96 total golfers. She was followed by sophomore Emilee Woolf (Ravenna) at 167 strokes (85-82) in 28th place, sophomores Jones and Miranda Cunningham (Dayton/ Christian) at 172 and tied for 42nd place. Jones had her career-low 83 total and a 93 the first day, and Cunningham had a 90 and then an 83 today. Junior Rebecca Kapusta (Independence) was fifth on the team and 54th overall with rounds of 90 and 90 for a 180-stroke total.

Playing as an individual was sophomore Sarah Allred (Akron/Green) who fired rounds of 92 and an 85 for a 177-stroke total to place 50th.

The Yellow Jackets return to action this spring when they open that season on their annual spring break trip.
