Findlay looks for second D2 Golf Championship!

The University of Findlay hopes to retain their 2022 NCAA D2 Women’s golf crown from last year. But there are a host of other schools looking to upend the Oilers in their quest for a second consecutive championship.

 

D2 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship!

Fox Run Golf Club in Eureka, Missouri hosts this year’s event May 16th – 20th. The top 18 teams in the east, south, west and central regions will compete for the team title, and the two top individuals NOT on a team from each region are also invited for medalist honors.

 

Findlay and Tiffin are in the tough east region, along with University of Indianapolis, Grand Valley State and Missouri-St Louis, the hosts of the tourney.

 

Findlay was ranked in the top 10 for most of the year. The most recent polls saw them climb to #3, behind Lynn University (#1) and Dallas Baptist University (#2).

 

How Findlay got here!

Findlay defeated Tiffin in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Medal round to grab the conference championship. The Oilers defeated Tiffin 4-1 in the medal round, where the twosomes try to outscore their counterpart after 18 holes.

Findlay will be led by the twins, Erin and Mary Kelly Mulcahy from Lima Central Catholic. Mary Kelly is coming off her Freshman of the Year award in 2022 as the twins and fifth year senior, Jill Schmitmeyer from St Mary’s hope to led the team to another title. Rounding out the roster will be Gabby Woods (Sabina, Ohio) and first-year phenom, Hayley Dye, from Delaware, Ohio.

 

Top D2 Golfers

Lynn University boasts the top two golfers in NCAA D2 golf in Maria Hoyos and Sara Ericsson, and the top two Dallas Baptist golfers Olivia Mitchell and Julia Garcia will try to upend the Oilers. The women playing this week are all in the top 100 for NCAA!

 

The Course

Fox Run is designed by Gary Kern. Considered one of the longest courses in Missouri, it boasts bent grass fairways and greens making this course, along with the signature long rough, a challenge for the women.

 

The tournament starts today, Tuesday. Keep with us for updates!
