Women’s team
The Ohio Northern women's golf program will look to take another step forward in 2019-20. The Polar Bears have their vision fixed on the top of the conference following a fourth-place finish in 2018-19. 

"I feel real confident with the women's team," seventh-year head coach Chad Bucci said. "This is my best recruiting class, and I see the team doing exceptionally well."

The success of Northern will likely stem from junior Lydia Cranmer (Farmington Hills, Mich./Ladywood). She won four of the seven tournaments she teed it up in last season.

The Ada cross country team ran its season-opening meet at the 12-team Ben Logan Early Bird Invitational last Tuesday.

"Overall, it was a pretty good meet," said Bulldog head coach Josh Klein. "The boys did not finish in the order I had anticipated  - which is exciting, but also shows we have some more work to do over the next couple weeks to make sure we are getting ourselves in shape."

Ada senior Hunter Wells posted the best Bulldog finish. He came in 46th in the field of over 100 runners with a time of 21:56.7, which was three seconds faster than last year's first meet. "He is still working on getting his time down," said Klein.
