Bobcat Golfers Finish Fall Season

(Peru, Neb.) – While missing their top golfer, the Peru State College (PSC) Bobcat golf team finished the fall portion of their schedule on Friday, Sept. 30, at the Hastings College Fall Invitational.

The Bobcats finished fourth and well off the pace, which was different from their previous performances this fall. However, there was a bright spot. Sophomore Courtney Musgrave (Omaha) finished as the eighth place medalist while shooting a 94 during the 18-hole invite.

NCAA Division II University of Nebraska at Kearney won the meet with a team score of 362. The Lopers were followed by Midland University – 362, Hastings College – 381, and Peru State – 421. Kaitlyn Meyer of Midland was the medalist for the meet shooting an 86.

Musgrave had rounds of 47 and 47 for her eighth place finish. Bobcat head golf coach Brett Hahn was pleased with Musgrave's performance. He noted, “Courtney stepped into our number one sport for the first time with a lot of confidence. I felt the course set up well for her considering her length off the tee. Although she struggled around the greens, she managed to play well enough for a top ten finish.”

Ellen Larsen (Lincoln) was the team's number two golfer and finished 20th with a final score of 100 having shot rounds of 53 and 47. Hahn said, “Ellen continued to show improvement on the course. There were many moments where the course showed its teeth against her, but she fought hard all the way around.”

Playing in her final tournament as a Bobcat, Avyn Vaden (Commerce City, Colo.) shot a 107 on rounds of 51 and 56. Following the meet, Hahn commented, “Avyn showed great hear all day long. She battled a few swing issues and the fast pace of the greens shooting a 107 which was right around her average for the fall.”

PSC's fourth golfer, Jacey Stoner (Alda) finished the invite with a 120 final score having shot rounds of 57 and 63. Hahn said, “Jacey had the toughest day of all of the Bobcats. She started off the meet playing very strong and consistent golf. Jacey was on a good pace to continue to show the kind of improvement she had the entire fall. Unfortunately, about halfway through the invite, she became sick and had limited energy to finish the meet. Definitely not how she wanted to finish the fall, but I was proud of her for finishing.”

As to the results of the fall, Hahn provided the following, “Going into the last meet of the fall, we were definitely not at full strength. With Jordan Schaardt (Humboldt) not being able to compete due to an injury, that put us one golfer down from our normal full squad of five. In addition, the speeds of the greens were definitely the fastest we had played all season and it was difficult for the girls to adjust.” As to how the fall portion of the season finished, Hahn concluded, “Even though we ended the season a little disappointed that we did not play up to our own expectations, we still had a great fall season. I am very proud of how hard the girls have worked this fall and the scores they posted. We look forward to a productive offseason and are hoping to see the same kind of improvement in the spring that we experienced in the fall.”
