TIFFIN—The Ohio Northern women's golf team shattered the school's 36-hole record by a full 10 strokes en route to a victory at the Heidelberg Fall Invitational on Friday and Saturday, September 16-17, at Mohawk Golf & Country Club.

Sophomore Rhianna Firmstone (Moon Township, Pa./Moon Area) won Medalist honors for the first time in her career with a 74-79—153 on the 5921-yard, par-72 course to finish first by three strokes in the 60-women field.
Junior Grace Honigford was in a three-way tie for second place three shots back with a 79-77—156.
Sophomore Amelia Burger (Centerville) and freshman Marisa Alfes (Bellbrook) tied for 8th with 160s.
