WOMEN'S GOLF
ANGOLA, Ind. - The Calvin women's golf team finished tied for 7th in a field of 13 teams at the Trine University Spring Classic, posting a score of 362 strokes Friday afternoon. The tournament was scheduled to continue on Saturday but was shortened to Friday's lone 18-hole round because of wintry weather conditions in the Midwest.
Despite the frigid conditions, Calvin put together some strong performances on Friday at Trine's Zollner Golf club.
Senior Jennie Poole (Summit, NJ/Kent Place School) finished tied for eighth place individually with a round of 84, just five shots off the lead.
Senior Casey Harkema (Holt, Mich./Holt HS) came up with a round of 90 while senior Sarah Arendsen (Wayland, Mich./Wayland HS) had a 93.
