Senior Hannah Buzolits made program history by becoming The College of Wooster women's golf team's first-ever first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference performer, and the Fighting Scots had a program-record three student-athletes earn all-conference certificates as Wooster wrapped up the NCAC Championship Series in fourth-place with a 54-hole score of 1026 after Sunday's 357 at the Royal American Links in Galena, Ohio.
Buzolits placed fourth overall with a 242 during the three-round tournament as Saturday's weather forced the cancelation of a round of the championship series. Buzolits carded a team-best 85 on Sunday to become the first Scot to finish in the top 10 at the league's championship. Overall, the all-conference certificate marked the second of Buzolits' career as she tied for 11th-place with a 345 at the 2015 championships.
Senior Emily Howerton and junior Victoria Roney joined Buzolits on the all-conference squad, and Wooster's now had multiple all-conference honorees in each of the last three seasons.
Howerton, the first three-time all-conference recipient in program history, earned honorable mention status with a 260, a score that placed her in a tie for 16th-place. Howerton shot a 90 in the final round of the tournament after bringing a 170 into event two of the championship series. Howerton was also an honorable mention all-conference performer last year after earning a second-team certificate as a sophomore.
Roney earned all-conference honors for the first time, and she finished at 256 for the tournament after a 91 on Sunday. Roney also earned an honorable mention certificate as she tied for 14th-place.
First-year Hannah Appleman tied for 23rd-place at 271 after a 94 on Sunday, while senior Mallorey Stack had a 91 in her final collegiate round to finish at 276 and in 25th-place.
Wittenberg University captured its third-straight NCAC title after a 944 over the three rounds. DePauw University checked in at 980 to earn runner-up honors, while Denison University shot a 329 in the final round to finish at 1006. The Tigers' Macy Hubbard earned medalist honors at 222.
