Bluffton University sports recap

Men's soccer, women's soccer, men's golf

Here's a recap of Bluffton University sports for the week:

Men's Golf

The Bluffton University men jumped into action feet first with a 36-hole day at the UNOH Invitational at Hidden Creek. Playing on one its home courses, the Beavers lived up to expectations with a flurry of rounds in the 70's and not a score over 89 all day

Freshman Evan Kujawa (Toledo/Whitmer) started fast with a 73 and he followed that up with a slick 78 on the final 18 to top the Beavers with a 151 for the day.
