MARSHALL, MICH.-- The Trine women's golf team opened their season with a sixth-place finish in the Olivet Fall Invitational, which concluded Saturday at Medalist Golf Club.

The Thunder improved on their round one score by 10 strokes to shoot a 337 in the second round and bring their two-day total to 684 (+108). Leading the way for the Thunder was Amy Worthington (Logansport, Ind./Logansport), who fired a 163 to finish in a tie for ninth overall.
