On July 12th, UD golfer Grace Nikolai won Moraine Country Club's Ladies Club Championship, after defeating 11-time winner Cathy Jefferson in the semifinals and Winnie Cleavenger in the final match.

I have been very pleased with how Grace is playing this summer," commented women's head coach Sally Kosters. "She has proven herself to be a solid player for our team. I am looking forward to her taking a leadership position this season on the course."

Nikolai also competed in two other competitions earlier in the same week, winning the Dayton District Women's Stroke Play Championship and falling in the finals of the Dayton District Women's Match Play championship.
