Women’s Golf: Formeck Takes Medalist Honors in Playoff at Detroit Titans Invite
    Redford, Mich. -- It took 38 holes to determine a winner at the Detroit Titans Invitational, but freshman Samantha Formeck edged out teammate Katie Rogner on the second hole of the playoff to take medalist honor at Western Golf & Country Club.

    Both Formeck and Rogner shot a 152 at the event, along with Meghan Hunter of Ferris State. Hunter was eliminated on the first playoff hole as she bogeyed, while Formeck and Rogner shot par. On the next hole Formeck sunk a birdie to claim the top spot.

    Out of four events so far this season, three times a Penguin has taken medalist honors. Formeck has done it twice in taking this event along with the Bucknell Invitational. Rogner took medalist honors at the YSU Invitational.

    As a team the Penguins finished in second, five strokes behind Ferris State.  The Guins had a two-round total of 626 (316-310), and their second day round of 310 was the lowest in round two and tied them with Ferris State for the lowest round at the event.

    Cracking the top 10 was junior Brittany Stillwagon who finished with a 159 (79-80). In 11th was  junior Ann Ciavarella who carded a 163 (82-81) at the event. Senior Mollie Boney took 16th after a two-round total of 167 (84-83).
    Junior Reagan O'Brien and senior Amanda Brindley competed as individuals at the event. Brindley carded a 172 (85-87) finishing in 20th and O'Brien finished in 23rd after shooting a 174 (86-88).

    The women will look to cap off a successful fall season when the hit the links on Monday as they compete in the Robert Morris Invitational at Montour Heights Country Club.
