Women’s golf pair participates in Hooters tournament

After last season’s sixth place finish in the NCAA Tournament, the Grand Valley State University women’s golf team entered the offseason with a taste of success. For senior Sarah Hoffman and sophomore Veronica Ryan, that success continued well into the off season as the duo teamed up to compete in the Hooters Women’s Division II Collegiate Team Championship in Dahlonega, Ga., in mid-August.

Though the duo finished at 298 ( 10), which placed them 27th overall, they saw success in the tournament’s second round with a 69 in the best-ball round.

Game day parking changes in place

Fans excited for tonight’s season-opening football game against Western Oregon University will need to adjust where they park and how they get to the game.

Administration encourages fans to ride the shuttle bus – which is free of charge – because parking on campus will be restricted. West Parking Lot C will be closed all day, and Lot F will be reserved for faculty.

During the day, students will still be able to park. Lot C East and Lot F West will be open until noon, while incoming students will be directed to Lot J. Due to the influx of cars, residence lots will be available for commuter students on Sept. 1 without ticketing.

Students taking evening classes should use the Campus Connector bus as the number of buses running from 5 to 11 p.m. will be doubled, and off-campus buses will run from Lot J to the Kirkhof Center, which will each be open.

For downtown Grand Rapids football fans, parking will be free at the Pew Grand Rapids Campus and the university will provide free shuttles to and from the game from 5 to 11 p.m. The Irwin Lots will be open as normal.
