Led by individual medalist Haylock, women's golf wins the Wesleyan Invitational

MIDDLEFIELD, Conn. -- First-year Ruby Haylock earned individual medalist honors in dominating fashion and the Bates women's golf team won the Wesleyan Fall Invitational by 13 strokes over the weekend at Lyman Orchards Golf Club. 

Haylock (Hartford, Maine) recorded five birdies on Sunday on her way to a 74 and a two-day score of 153, seven strokes ahead of runner-up Emily Hou of host Wesleyan. 

Meanwhile, junior Alex Voight-Shelley (State College, Pa.) tied for third place in the field of 41 with a two-day score of 161, shooting an 80 on Saturday and an 81 on Sunday. 

The Bobcats shot 656 as a team over the course of two days, first place out of seven squads. Wesleyan's A team was the runner-up with a 669. 

Sophomore Maddy Kwei (Pasadena, Calif.) tied for 11th with a two-day score of 169. Fellow sophomore Nerea Barranco Aramburu (Zarautz, Spain) rounded out the scoring for Bates with a two-day score of 173, tied for 15th place. 

The Wesleyan Invitational marks the first two-day tournament of the fall for the Bobcats. They won the one-day Polar Bear Shootout earlier in the month. Voight-Shelley has placed in the top five of all three tournaments so far this season and Haylock now has a pair of medalist honors to her credit, after also taking home the individual crown at the Polar Bear Shootout. 

The Bobcats are back in action next Saturday and Sunday at the Williams Golf Classic.
