Buzolits Captures Medalist Honors as Scots Place Fourth at Own Invite

Hannah Buzolits used a late charge on the back-nine on Sunday to earn medalist honors by one stroke.

Junior Hannah Buzolits captured medalist honors to lead The College of Wooster women's golf team to a fourth-place finish at the Wooster Spring Invitational held at the Mohican Hills Golf Club in Jeromesville, Ohio on Saturday and Sunday.

Buzolits, who entered Sunday one shot back of the lead really charged on late playing the back-nine on Sunday at 2-over-par. The junior had a big boost with a birdie on the par-5, 475-yard No. 13 and pared each of the last three holes to finish at 159 and one shot clear of Madonna University's Jordyn Shepler and the University of Mount Union's Olivia DeMartino.

Notable, Buzolits is the second Fighting Scot to earn medalist honors this year, as the junior joins Emily Howerton who earned top honors at Ohio Wesleyan University's Fall Invitational back in September. Overall, it marks the fourth time Wooster has had an individual medalist in the six-year history of the program.

Madonna, the 27th-ranked team in the NAIA earned the team title at 662, finishing four shots ahead of Denison University, and 11 strokes clear of third-place Mount Union.

Wooster turned in a 677 on the weekend, over 20 strokes clear of the rest of the 12-team, 70-competitor field.

Sharmeen Chinoy and Howerton both tied for 12th on the weekend at 171. Chinoy opened with an 84 on Saturday and followed with an 87 on Sunday, while Howerton carded an 83 and an 88.

Victoria Roney turned in a consistent weekend on the links with a 91 on Saturday and a 90 on Sunday to finish tied for 28th at 181.

Mallorey Stack rounded out the lineup with a 182 to tie for 31st. Stack shot an 86 on Saturday and a 96 on Sunday for a 36-hole score of 182.

Jennie Blosser competed as an individual and tied for 54th with a 36-hole total of 202.

Next, Wooster opens up play at the North Coast Athletic Conference Championship Series, with the first event taking place April 23-24 at the Boulder Creek Golf Course in Streetsboro, Ohio.
