grasberry@dailystandard.com After pioneering the girls golf program at Parkway, Erin Winings has helped do the same at Allegheny College.
The Gators freshman helped the women's golf team post its first invitational win in its first meet, winning the Baldwin-Wallace Invitational on Sunday in Beara.
The Gators shot a 345, bettering the 359 that the host Yellow Jackets put up.
Winings, who had the low score in nearly every dual or tri-match for the Panthers, started out her college career almost as well, firing an 83 to take runner-up honors. After going out with a 38 on the first nine, Winings struggled and shot a 45 on the final nine to end up one stroke back of medalist Marie Karebsbach of Mount Union.
Teammate Melanie Ice shot an 84 to take third and all five Gator scoring golfers placed in the top 15. Allegheny's next match is Monday at Gannon.
