Women’s Golf: YSU Looks to Reclaim the Top Prize at the Horizon League Championships

    After three first-place tournament finishes this year, the Youngstown State women’s golf team looks to capture the Horizon League Championships at Plum Creek Golf Club in Carmel, Ind., beginning this Saturday. Thirty-six holes are set for Saturday while the final round is set for Sunday.
    Last season, the Guins placed third at the HL Championships, with senior Brittany Jones leading the way finishing fourth. The team will look to take the momentum from their victory at the Loyola Invitational on April 14-15 into the Championships this weekend.
    YSU’s lineup this year at the HL Championships is freshman Katie Rogner, junior Mollie Boney, and seniors Jones, Adrianna DiLonardo, and Felicia Ciotola. This will also be the last event for the three seniors as Penguins.
    Throughout the regular season, YSU was led by Rogner. Rogner, a two-time Horizon League Golfer of the Week, will be looking to make it back-to-back medalist honors with a win at the HL Championships after winning at Loyola. Rogner had a great fall and has not missed a beat this spring. She has been the team’s top placer in every meet this season and will be a key component to YSU reclaiming the Championship.
    Jones will be making her fourth appearance at the HL Championships and is looking to cap off her fantastic four years as a Guin on a high note. Jones has finished in the top 10 every year she has competed at the event, including a fourth-place finish last year. She was fifth as a sophomore and 10th as a freshman.
    Ciotola will also making a fourth trip back to the Championships in as many years. After finishing in 13th a year ago, Ciotola will look to improve on that and crack the top ten. Her career-best finish at the meet was seventh as a freshman. She was also 13th as a sophomore.
    Making her third trip to the HL Championships in four years is Adrianna DiLonardo. DiLonardo tied for 15th at the event last year, but was sixth in her first trip in 2006.
    Making her first trip to the event in three years with the program is Boney. Boney is coming off a seventh place finish at the UD Titan Invitational, and has had a solid junior campaign.
    Since winning the inaugural Horizon League Championship in 2003, the Penguins have finished second in 2005 and 2006, and third in 2004 and 2007. Butler has won the last three HL Championships since Loyola and YSU split the first two.
