Pioneers Finish Second At Ohio CupThe Malone College women's golf team hosted the fourth annual Ohio Cup last Monday at the Zoar Golf Course (Zoar, OH) and finished second among a six-team field. In a non-traditional format in which five different types of play were used (alternate shot, scramble, stroke play 1, stroke play 2 and match play), Malone scored a total of 28 points to post its second-place finish as Ohio Northern University won the event with 31 1/2 points. Ohio Dominican University was third (19 1/2), Tiffin University placed fourth (17), Mt. Union College came in fifth (12) and the University of Northwestern Ohio placed sixth (11).
Malone opened with a third-place finish in the alternate shot (4 pts) and then placed fourth in the scramble (3 pts). A strong second-place showing in stroke play 1 earned the team five points followed by a third-place finish in stroke play 2 (4 pts). The top finish in match play, with six wins and no losses, earned the team 12 points and ultimately lifted them into their final second-place overall finish, just 3 1/2 points behind champion Ohio Northern.
This week, Malone will compete at the two-day University of St. Francis (IN) Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
