Sophomore Miksich Records First Hole-in-One in Alvernia Women's Golf History

Sophomore Women's Golf Student-Athlete Cassidy Miksich recorded the first hole-in-one in program history during the team's victory at the Alvernia Invitational Tuesday afternoon at LedgeRock Golf Club.

Miksich recorded an ace at the par three fourth which is the first ace by an Alvernia Women's Golfer in tournament play in program history. She recorded an 89 on the day and finished in 19th place.

She started on the second hole and posted two big numbers on two and three before carding her first hole-in-one in a tournament at the par three fourth. Miksich hit a crisp iron shot over the front bunker and onto the middle of the green, the ball then started tracking toward the pin before disappearing into the cup for an ace.

Miksich then recorded pars at the fifth and ninth holes, but three bogeys on six, seven, and eight saw her post a 41 on the front nine. Miksich then carded just one par on the back nine with multiple bogeys and doubles as she carded a 48 and finished with an 89 on the round.
