Women’s Golf Wins 2023 Westfield Regional to Advance to the National Championship


Westfield, Ind. – The Bulldogs have made history once again by winning the 2023 Westfield Regional Championship. With exceptional skill and unwavering determination, State was able to capture the regional title for the first time in program history after earning a three-round score of 19-Under Par (845).
 
On the final day of the tournament, the Bulldogs demonstrated their mettle by keeping their composure under pressure.
