The Ohio Northern women's golf program will look to post its sixth consecutive upper-division Ohio Athletic Conference during the 2017-18 campaign under 5th-year head coach Chad Bucci.

The Polar Bears finished the 2016-17 season on a strong note as they finished third at the OAC Championships and finished 26-27 overall.

Bucci welcomes welcomes back nine letterwinners to a very experienced Polar Bear team.

"We like the group we have coming back this season," said Bucci. "They played a big role in our success last season."

Northern opens the fall schedule on Sept. 2-3 as it hosts the ONU Classic at Colonial Golf Club.

The Polar Bears will also compete in the Ohio Wesleyan Fall Invitational and Heidelberg Fall Invitational in September before wrapping the fall schedule up at the Wittenberg Fall Invitational on Oct. 7-8.
