The men finished with a team score of 39 points, 22 points below second place Malone. The women’s team finished within six points of first place Bowling Green with a score of 61.

Lizarribar said the race was a success.

“As a team we did awesome, a lot of girls really stepped up,”Lizarribar said. “I’m excited to get a victory in college. It’s

definitely a cool feeling.”

The Flashes head back to Athens in two weeks for the Mid-American Conference Championships on Oct. 31.
