Senior ♦ Golf

The Gladiators' lead golfer has been on an incredible roll to begin this season; she's a combined 4-under-par after five tournaments and won all five events. She opened with a 15-stroke victory at the Traverse City West Invitational, won the two-day Lober Classic by 14 strokes and then last week's St. Francis Invitational by 18 strokes. This week she's added a 17-stroke win at the Grayling Invitational and Thursday carded a 6-under-par 65 to win the Petoskey Invitational by 10 strokes. 

Slocum finished eighth at the Lower Peninsula Division 4 Final as a freshman, moved to third as a sophomore and placed fourth as a junior last fall as her team climbed the standings to tie for sixth place. She's also played hockey for several years but will be focusing on golf moving forward after recently committing to sign with Wisconsin. She plans to major in biochemistry and minor in nutritional sciences in preparation for medical school.
