Toledo broke a school record Tuesday by capturing its fifth tournament crown of the season with an eight-stroke victory at the Kingsmill Intercollegiate hosted by the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. The tourney was held on the par-72, 6,043-yard River Course at the Kingsmill Resort.

“The conditions were really tough [Tuesday] with the wind and pin placements, and I was really proud of how we held on for the victory,” Head Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. “We received contributions from everyone throughout the tournament, and that’s what you need to be successful.”

The women's golf team won its fifth tournament of the season Tuesday in Virginia.
