Fall sport season is upon us, and both Ashland University’s Golf men and women’s team had their first invitationals to start their respected season.

On the women’s side, they had two separate invitationals. One of them was the University of Charleston Invitational in West Virginia. The Eagles sent their “purple team” where they finished 7th out of 15 teams.
