Women’s golf finishes fifth at Swan Memorial Tournament

The Biola women’s golf team wrapped up their first tournament of the 2022-23 season with a tie for fifth place out of 16 teams at the Swan Memorial on Tuesday. The two-day tournament was held at Todd Creek Golf Club in Thornton, Colorado. Biola (925, +61) trailed fourth place Colorado State Pueblo (924, +60) by a single swing at the conclusion of the tournament. 

EAGLES TIE FOR MOST EAGLES  

The Eagles’ success on Par 3’s resulted in the lowest average score amongst competitors in the tournament, as well as being tied for the most eagles courtesy of Madison Voisard and Abigale Morris contributing to that total. 

VOISARD TIES BIOLA RECORD

Voisard finished the tournament tying for seventh and leading the Biola leaderboard. Voisard finished two strokes over par with a tie for first when the first day of the tournament concluded. In her first round, she carded 78 with three birdies as well as a four-under-par in her second attempt with five birdies and an eagle. Voisard’s most impressive accomplishment of the tournament came in her second round of 68 which tied her with Biola’s current record holder Sami Penor for the best single round in the history of the women’s golf program at Biola. 

Voisard carded a score of 80 in her final round, followed by Brady Turnquist (T19, +16), Rachel Shaw (T29, +19), Melanie Reyes (T34, +20), and Morris (42, +24).

Caleb Crawley, Sports Editor
Caleb Crawley is a junior Interdisciplinary Studies major who enjoys attending sporting events, playing intramural sports and exploring Los Angeles. [email protected] I was born and raised in Fortuna, a small Northern California town located in Humboldt County. Humboldt is an area known for its scenic nature, beaches, redwood forests and our Victorian village known as Ferndale, CA.  Growing up in Northern California during the 2010’s San Francisco Giants dynasty made it easy to fall in love with baseball. Nearly every night I would be glued to the television after my Little League games watching my beloved Giants. At the time I could name every single player on their roster, as well as their batting average. Needless to say, my childhood revolved around the game as I was either playing, watching, or reading about baseball. This passion carried me throughout my high school and community college careers, in which I was on the baseball team during my time at both institutions.  I am elated to bring my love for sports to the Chimes and look forward to the opportunity to tell the stories of Biola athletes from the perspective of a former collegiate baseball player as well as an avid life-long sports fan.
