Western Wayne Today

Wayne State University's women's golf team is currently positioned in second place after the first day of the Cav Classic at Glenmoor Country Club. The women's team, competing in its last tournament of the 2024-25 regular season, trails first place by four strokes with a team score of 309, 21 over par, among nine participating teams.

Three golfers from Wayne State are ranked within the top 10 at the conclusion of the first round. Sabel Imesch is in a tie for second place with a score of 75, three over par. Claudia Portillo holds the seventh spot with a 77, five over par, while Ting-Yu Kuo is tied for the eighth position with a score of 78, six over par.

Head coach Larry Hamilton shared his comments on the team's performance, stating, "Really like where we're at after day one. We definitely would've liked to get a couple of them back that we left out there, but feel good heading into the final round tomorrow."

The team has had success throughout the season with multiple players ranking in the top 10 at several tournaments. No player has achieved such placement during the spring season yet. Portillo and Kuo were previously in the top 10 in consecutive fall tournaments, with Imesch also securing a spot in the final fall event.

The team standings after the first round are as follows: Gannon leads with a score of 305, 17 over par; Wayne State follows with 309, 21 over par; Ohio Dominican is third with 313, 25 over par; Saginaw Valley State is fourth with 318, 30 over par; and Grace holds the fifth spot with 327, 39 over par.

The second round of the event is scheduled to start with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
