"Metamora was a great test of golf for everyone this week." Said Director of Golf Sam Osborne '10. "This wasn't the result that we aimed for, and we didn't execute up to the standard we know we're capable of, but I'm proud of the way our team fought for three days. I'm especially proud of Ava. To be on the outside looking in halfway through round three, it was great to see her finish strong to move up the leaderboard."
 
Millikin is back in action on October 18-20, when they take part in the Golfweek October Classic.
