PAINESVILLE, Ohio – In a tightly contested tournament, John Carroll Women's Golf went toe-to-toe with the defending Ohio Athletic Conference champions. 

But by a couple of strokes, host Ohio Northern held off the Blue Streaks at the Jimmy Hanlin Invitational at Little Mountain Country Club on Monday.

The Blue Streaks finished second with a final team tally of 332-335-667. The tournament came down to the final six holes. While JCU didn't pull it out, the competitiveness of the team is a good sign for early in the fall. 

Results

As always, Julia Gulla led the charge for the Blue Streaks. The sophomore extraordinaire carded a pair of birdies for a starting score of 79 (+7). A birdie on No. 2 highlighted her Monday with a final mark of 80 (+8). The Sagamore Hills native finished second individually by one stroke.

Chloe Holton looked strong, especially at the start with an 82 in the first round. After an 86 in the second round, the junior tied for fifth in the field.

Kyah Huckleberry tabbed an 86 on both days for JCU. The sophomore tied for sixth, alongside Lauren Roof, who also performed well. The veteran finished with a scorecard of 85-87. 

Meredith Thompson, JCU's No. 5 player, rounded out the squad by cracking the top 10 standings. The sophomore opened with a 92 before roaring back for an 83 on Monday, highlighted by a birdie on No. 14.

Meanwhile, the JCU "B" Team also did well, finishing in fourth place. 

Alexandra Yaeger fired up an 81 on Sunday, a career best, with a birdie on No. 14 providing a memorable moment. On Monday, the sophomore finished with a 99. 

Tess Gibel (93-92) finished 19th in a solid showing for the first year. Erin McCaffrey (93-95), Hannah Prince (97-91), and Makenna Myler (108-98) rounded things out for the JCU "B" squad.
