WILLOUGHBY HILLS – On a weekend dedicated to Morgan's Message, the idea that you are more than your score resonated. 

John Carroll Women's Golf posted a solid result but came up just shy of winning the annual John Carroll Invitational.

By one stroke, the Blue Streaks finished second to Ursuline College during a beautiful weekend at Manakiki Golf Course. The Blue Streaks tallied a team score of 331-345-676 for the weekend, just behind Ursuline's line of 340-335-675.

Results

Battling through the weekend was Julia Gulla. The sophomore gritted out an 81 on Saturday with back-to-back birdies on No. 13 and 14. Gulla then nabbed an 83 on Sunday, finishing in a tie for fourth place. 

Hannah Prince shined this weekend, starting well on both days. A birdie on No. 2 got her off to a good beginning, with a birdie on No. 17 helping her finish off the day with an 81. On Sunday, birdies on No. 7 and 13 helped her pick up an 84. For the weekend, the sophomore tied for sixth.

Chloe Holton continued her solid JCU debut season, finishing at 85-87 for 11th place. A birdie on the par-5 No. 12 hole highlighted her second round.

Kyah Huckleberry finished close behind in a tie for 12th, carding a line of 84-91. Alexandra Yaeger rounded out the squad with a 92 on both days.

Meanwhile, the JCU Gold Team finished in sixth place with some reasons for optimism.

Shining brightest was Tess Gibel. The first year Streak birdied No. 13 on Saturday to open up with an 88. A solid final nine cemented her spot atop the squad with an 87, tying Huckleberry for 12th.

Madison Maxwell and Erin McCaffrey tied for the second spot. Maxwell snagged a final tally of 91-90 and McCaffrey finished at 89-92. Veteran Lauren Roof trailed a few strokes back with a scoreline of 90-94. Makenna Myler (101-97) rounded out the squad. 

The JCU White Team also enjoyed some bright spots.

Cameron Gerlica tabbed a mark of 89-92, which tied Maxwell and McCaffrey for 18th, a promising sign for the first year. 

Irena Steffas followed her up with a score of 97 on both days. Marissa Milliron and Lucia Moran rounded things out for the Blue Streaks on a perfect weekend for golf.
