Blue Angels Opener in Oshkosh
MMU heads to Oshkosh, Wis. to begin their 2019 season.
OSHKOSH, Wis. – The Mount Mary University golf team began their 2019 season today at the Titan Classic. The Blue Angels participated in the biggest tournament in program history and finished 12 th on day one with host UW-Oshkosh taking first.
Leading the way for the Blue Angels was Haley Jacquez (Sr./Oakley, Calif.). The senior averaged a 124.5 last season, and began this season with a 128 on the 18-hole round. Teammate and newcomer Jaclyn Hofstetter (Sr./Dainer, Ill.) finished just one stroke behind Jacquez with a 129, which placed Hofstetter at 60th overall in day one.
After averaging 134.5 in her two events in 2018. Hayley Smalley (Sr./Columbus, Ohio) returns to the team in 2019 and is picking up right where she left off last season. The senior has a proclivity to hit long, and that helped her today tally a 131 on her first day round. That was good enough for 62nd place in the classic's day one.
MMU's fourth finished with a DQ.
The Blue Angels return to the links tomorrow for day two of the tournament. First swings begin at 9:30 am Sun. Sept. 1 at Oshkosh country club. For more information, times, and scores check out MtMaryAthletics.com. Full scorecards will be released after day two.
