PORTAGE, Mich. - Behind individual champion Gracie Piar, the CSUN women's golf team captured the WMU Bronco Fall Classic, its second consecutive tournament win on Tuesday at The Moors G.C.
With a three-round score of 924, the Matadors held off Ohio (929) by five shots and host Western Michigan (930) by six. A total of nine teams competed in the event.
The team victory gave CSUN consecutive tournament wins for the first time in program history as the Matadors followed up their win at the Eagle Invitational (Sept. 22-23). It also marked the first time since 2009 that CSUN has won multiple events in the same season.
CSUN also captured its second straight individual championship as Piar picked up her first win since 2023 when she took medalist honors at the Utah Tech Invitational. Piar, who led after 36 holes at 1-over 145, carded a 4-over 76 on Tuesday to finish the tournament at 5-over 221. Piar had two birdies and 11 pars in the final round.
CSUNÂ SCORES
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH MICHELLE WINKLER
"To win two in a row both as a team as well as individually is just incredible. Our final holes, holes 15-18, were a true test of golf. We knew the tournament would come down to those holes, and luckily we kept our heads and got the job done. I've never seen the leaderboard change that much at the end! We are definitely in a positive head space going into our next tournament - Let's go get another one!"
The Matadors will take the course again in 10 days as CSUN travels to Pennsylvania for the Lehigh Invitational (Oct. 19-20).
