BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University women's golf team saw two of its members earn First-Team All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference honors following a record-breaking season fro the Beavers. Seniors Kiley Cline (Fostoria/Hopewell Louden) and Allie Waggener (Hilliard/Hilliard-Bradley) were two of just 10 women's golfers to be recognized by the HCAC coaches following the 2024-25 season.
Records were broken at a feverish pace as Cline and Waggener led the way for Bluffton in 2024-25. Cline led the Beavers with a 79.37 scoring average on the way to her second All-Heartland Conference award! She is the first two-time All-HCAC honoree for the women and is the first Beaver to finish a season with a scoring average under 80. The all-time scoring leader at 83.68 strokes per round, Cline has three of the top five seasons for scoring average along with the best 18-hole (72) and 36-hole (146) scores in school history. She is also a 9-time HCAC Player of the Week.
Waggener went toe-to-toe with Cline for all four years, earning her first All-HCAC honor this season. Her 81.11 scoring average is 2nd all-time for a season and she owns three of the top eight scoring averages in Bluffton history. Waggener's 84.86 career average is 4th all-time and she is less than one stroke behind Cline for the top spot. The four-time HCAC Player of the Week has the best 54-hole score in school history, a 241 at the 2024 HCAC Championships.
The dynamic duo led the Beavers to all of their best 18-hole, 36-hole and 54-hole scores in school history and they hold the top eight spots on the 36-hole individual records list. On October 13, 2024, the Bluffton University women made school history with their first-ever tournament victory at the HCAC Preview. Bluffton went back-and-forth with Mount St. Joseph all weekend, but the Beavers shot 322 and 326 for a 648 and three-stroke victory over the pesky Lions.
