Women's Team Has Successful Fall Campaign

Third-year head coach Max Baker led the women’s squad to a third-place finish at the NAIA Regional Championships among other top finishes this fall season.

The Pioneer women had an impressive fall season.  The team opened its season with a third-place finish at the Urbana University Invitational.  Malone carded a one-day total of 407 as Tiffin University took the team title with a score of 350.  Pacing the Pioneers was Megan Grubb (So., Lake H.S. ) with a round of 90 and an eighth-place finish overall.  The Pioneer women later played in the Ohio Dominican Invitational and placed fourth in the six-team field with a two-day total of 829 (428-401).  Grubb led the Pioneers with a 13^th-place finish and a total of 197 (100-97).  Right behind her was teammate Heather Hall (So., Bellefontaine H.S.) finishing 14^th overall at 198 (98-100). 

The next week, the women’s squad had two successful tournaments.  They first competed in the Walsh Invitational finishing fourth among six teams.  The Pioneers recorded a two-day total of 770 (390-380) for the fourth-place finish.  Grubb again led the team as she posted a score of 168 (86-83).  Grubb’s impressive score was good enough for fourth-place in the tournament and only four shots behind the medalist.  Later in the week, the Pioneers hosted the Malone Invitational at Zoar Golf Course.  The women captured the title at this two-team event as they carded a 367 with Ursuline College posting a 441.  In the event, Hall captured medalist honors as she finished with a career-low score of 85.  Close behind was Heather Grovemiller (Jr., Perry H.S.) finishing second overall with a score of 88.

The last tournament before the season-ending Region IX Championships was the Tiffin Invitational.  The Pioneers placed ninth out of 12 teams in this very strong field.  With The University of Findlay winning the tournament with a score of 334, the Pioneers posted a score of 381.  Grovemiller led Malone’s squad with a score of 91. 

Next up for the women was the AMC/NAIA Region IX Championships hosted by Ohio Dominican.  Representing the Pioneers at the championships was Grubb, Grovemiller, Hall, Marissa Brown (Sr., John Glenn H.S.), and Jenny Green (So., Oak Harbor H.S.).  After the one-day event, the Pioneers finished an impressive third overall out of nine teams.  Leading the Pioneers was Grubb with a score of 84, which earned her First Team All-AMC honors.  Grovemiller and Brown were close behind with scores of 89 and 93, respectively.
