The Bluffton University women's golf team hit the links for the fourth consecutive day when they made the trip to Defiance for the Military Appreciation Invitational on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021. A sparkling round of 355 equaled the Beavers for the 2nd-best round in school history. Bluffton came in 2nd, just 14 strokes off the pace of NAIA member Siena Heights University.

Veterans Haley Gill (Indianapolis, IN/Franklin Central) and Marissa Hall (Avon Lake) lit up the scoreboard with a pair of 85's on a hot Tuesday just off the banks of the Maumee River. Freshman Allie Waggener (Hilliard/Hilliard Bradley) followed with a 91, while Keely Briggs (Franklin) and Kiley Cline (Fostoria/Hopewell Louden) rounded out the Bluffton five with scores of 94 and 86, respectively.

Bluffton will return to the practice greens for the next three days before a trip to Franklin, IN, for the HCAC Preview at Legends Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12-13.
