WOMEN'S GOLF: Smith Signs With Bulldogs

BIG RAPIDS - Ferris State University has a strong tradition competing on the league, regional and national levels in women's golf.

Ferris head coach Mike Mignano is hoping to keep that tradition alive (and strengthen it) as he continues to shape and mold his program. As part of that, Mignano recently announced the signing of Amy Smith, a native of Cincinnati, to his squad. So, that means the reach of the Ferris women's golf program extends down into southern Ohio.

Mignano on Smith:

"We're so fortunate to have a person of such high character and positive attitude join our team. Amy is one of those golfers who will work hard and undoubtedly become a strong leader for the Bulldogs. She's a Bulldog in every sense of the word - dedication, commitment, and positive attitude.

"Amy dealt with a serious wrist injury during most of her senior season, but fought through it and supported her teammates regardless of her circumstances. She will be a strong team player for us and we look forward to her help in us competing for a national championship," he added.

The Bulldogs have a strong track record of bringing in quality players.
