Women’s Golf: Formeck Takes Medalist Honors, Penguins Take Second
    Lewisburg, Pa. -- After being delayed on Saturday due to the weather at the Bucknell Invitational, the Youngstown State women's golf team hit the links for 36 holes on Sunday at Bucknell Golf Course where the Penguins finished second and freshman Samantha Formeck took medalist honors.
    As a team, the Penguins finished in second shooting a 619 (314-305), nine strokes behind Penn State for the top spot. After the first 18 holes, YSU was only down one stroke for the lead but Penn State carded a tournament low round of 297 as a team during the final round.
    Making her collegiate debut for YSU, Formeck fired an 11-over-par 147 (73-74), two strokes better than second place finisher Brianna Malcolmson from Penn State. Three spots behind Formeck in fourth for the Penguins was senior Mollie Boney who carded a two round total of 153 (80-73).
    Also competing in the event for the Penguins was junior Ann Ciavarella, sophomore Katie Rogner, and senior Amanda Brindley. Ciavarella finished in 13th after her two round total of 159 (81-78). Right behind Ciavarella tied for 14th was Rogner who carded a 160 (80-80). Brindley finished tied for 56th after shooting a 183 (85-98).
    Next week the Penguins will play host to the YSU Invitational at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Hubbard. The event is scheduled to start on Sunday and run through Monday. Last season the Penguins won the event at Salem Hills Golf Course.
