Due to snow accumulation on the golf course, the 2005 Big Ten Women's Golf Championship was called after 54-holes, but that did not put a damper on the victory for the Ohio State Buckeyes.  The school's fourth straight Big Ten Women's Golf Championship was earned by 32 strokes, the largest since 2000.  The difference between Ohio State's victory this season and Northwestern's five years ago, is that the Buckeyes' margin came in a three round event, while the Wildcats' spanned four.  With a six-over par total, senior Kristen White became the sixth Buckeye to earn the championship medalist honor.  Following White were teammates Lindsay Knowlton in second place and Jennifer Selfinger in third.  In addition to the championship medalists, season awards were presented.

The Conference office also announced honorees from each team for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. The student-athletes chosen are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. In addition, the student-athletes must be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting.
