CANTON, Ohio -- Playing its final tournament of the 2024-25 regular season, the Wayne State University women's golf team is in second place (309, +21) among nine squads after day one of Walsh's Cav Classic at Glenmoor Country Club.  Individually, three Warriors sit within the top 10 including Sabel Imesch (Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich. / Grosse Pointe South), Claudia Portillo (Madrid, Spain / IES Ortega y Gassett) and Ting-Yu Kuo (Taipei, Taiwan / Taipei Municipal Zhong-zheng Senior).

"Really like where we're at after day one," said head coach Larry Hamilton.  "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."

Wayne State (of 56 total golfers)
T2. Imesch, 75 (+3)
7. Portillo, 77 (+5)
T8. Kuo, 78 (+6)
T14. Sophia Wygonik (Westland, Mich. / Livonia Franklin [Eastern Michigan]), 79 (+7)
T25. Orianna Bylsma (Montague, Mich.), 82 (+10)

Wayne State has had multiple players place among the top 10 in a tournament three times so far this season, but no Warrior has achieved such a finish so far in the spring.  Portillo and Kuo were both inside the top 10 in back-to-back fall tournaments before Portillo was joined by Wygonik and Imesch in the final fall event.
