Statesboro, Ga. (Mar. 10 - Mar. 11) - The Denison University women's golf team opened their Spring 2025 campaign with 36 holes at the South Georgia Invitational in Statesboro, Georgia.  The Big Red put on a strong performance across this two-day tournament at the Georgia Southern University Golf Course, finishing sixth out of a field of 19 teams, eight of which were top-25 teams in Division III.  

The individual field featured 105 players,  and the Big Red were second in the field in par three scoring. Pacing Denison to their sixth place finish was senior captain Ella McRoberts, who was +1 her final eight, ultimately finishing with a score of +10, to secure a top-eight finish. First Year Siena Maschke was right behind her finishing T-21. Sophomores Lizzy Grant and Natalia Fanucchi performed well, with a 26th and a T-35 finish, respectively. Capping off their impressive performance was Big Red's junior Isabella Dolan with a T-56 finish.

Head Coach Lauren Grogan shared, "The women played a lot of solid golf this week. We battled tough conditions on day one, including wet, rain, and cold weather. After a strong nine holes on the final day, we sat in a good spot, but had a tough finishing stretch. We got fatigued and made some big numbers coming down the stretch. We're excited to look ahead and learn from it before getting back into action in two weekends. I'm very proud of the play by Ella getting a top-eight finish, she battled through a tough ball striking day throughout day two and finished +1 her final eight holes. The team is eager to return to work, and we do not doubt that great golf is ahead."
