MIAMI, FLORIDA – Florida International University women’s golf had an impressive start the 2012-13 season earning team co-champion honours at the 2012 Wolverine Invitational, hosted by the University of Michigan, at the U-M Golf Course in Ann Arbor.

MacLaren had a 14-over (227) to equal Eastern Michigan’s Alyssa Kwon and Michigan’s Alicia Weber for the individual title. She remained atop the leaderboard after all the three rounds over the course of the event.
Senior Tania Tare (Auckland, New Zealand) had the third-best total for FIU on the weekend with a 23-over (236) to tie for 17th. Tare had her best performance in Sunday’s final round, scoring a 75 on the par 71 course.
