”It would be safe to say the The Wilds got the best of use this weekend,” Head Coach Scott Moe said. “It was a great golf course, in very good condition, just a great test. A few of our areas that need improvement were exposed, and now we know what we need to focus on this week heading into the MIAC Championship. Our gals had a great attitude and recognized what we need to do this week. Looking forward to our championship.”
Kristin Miyagi of Carleton and Anna Tollefson of Bethel shared medalist honors with identical scores of 74-76-150.
Gustavus now prepares for the MIAC Championships, which is played next Saturday through Monday in Becker, Minn.
