Women's Golf Finish 5th at NAIA Invitational

St. Joseph, Ind. -- The Rochester College Women's Golf team braved the cold last weekend as they traveled to Indiana to compete in the 2013 NAIA Invitational hosted by Holy Cross College. Day one of the event was canceled due to the cold and wet weather. The winner of the tournament would get an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship held in Lincoln, Neb.

At the conclusion of day two, the Warriors finished in 5th place out of a field of six.

"I am really proud of these ladies. We had the first round cancelled because of poor weather and the second round's weather was not much better. It was really cold out there. The ladies played as well as I could have possibly hoped for. We had a very good showing. This was our best score all year and we picked a great time to shoot it. What a great way to end the season," said Head Coach Clayton Bissett.

The Warriors finished the day with a 377, one stroke behind 4th place finisher, Robert Morris University.

Sophomore Danielle Godair (New Hudson, MI/South Lyon) led the Warriors with a 10th place finish shooting a 89.

Junior Felica Hamel (Flat Rock, MI/Huron) finished the day 16th shooting a 91.

Junior Audrie Bedenis (Davisburg, MI/Clarkston) shot a 92, good enough for a top 20 finish, while freshman Emma Alexander (Holly, MI/Holly) finished 29th shooting a 106.
