Eastern Wayne Today

The Wayne State University women's golf team is preparing for its penultimate tournament of the 2023-24 regular season. The Warriors will participate in Bowling Green's Dolores Black Falcon Invitational, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green, Ohio. The event features a 13-team field that will compete over 36 holes across two days.

"We are really looking forward to playing this weekend in the BGSU event," stated head coach Larry Hamilton. "It's a great field made up of a lot of mid-major teams, and the fact that it's so close to home allows some of our supporters to come out and see us play. It's a perfect tuneup for us as we prepare for the GLIAC Championships in a couple weeks."

The lineup for Wayne State includes Beca Vestman from Madrid, Spain; Maisarah Hezri from Sungai Petani, Kedah, Malaysia; Inja Fric from Ljubljana, Slovenia; Sabel Imesch from Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan; and Clarita Laffitte from Montevideo, Uruguay.
