There were many takeaways from Ashland University's women's golf team's second and final round at the Davenport Panther Invitational on Sunday (Oct. 15) – and they were all good.
Following the last 18 holes of the 36-hole tournament, the Eagle women moved up from sixth place to finish in third. But that was only part of the story.
