September 24th, 2004: Women's Golf Fall Review


Callie Riley

The Wittenberg women's golf team is off to a solid start to the 2004-05 season, with several outstanding individual scores and team scores substantially better than at this time a year ago already on the books.

The Tigers started the season with a third-place finish in the five-team Capital Invitational on Sept. 12. While Wittenberg finished 32 strokes behind first-place Wilmington, the Tigers were just two strokes back of Muskingum for runner-up honors. Junior Callie Riley (Winter Park, Fla./Orlando) posted her best collegiate score with an 89 to finish tied for second. Last weekend, Wittenberg placed sixth in the eight-team Wilmington Invitational. This time, the Tigers were 35 strokes off the pace, set by Ohio Northern, but just two strokes behind fifth-place Capital. Sophomore Erica Bodnar (Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington) carded a collegiate-best 87 to pace the Tigers and place fourth in the tournament.

This weekend, Wittenberg travels to Ohio Northern for their third of four fall tournaments.
