MONDAY ROUND-UP
The UW-Eau Claire women’s golf team on Saturday took second place out of nine teams at the Wartburg College Spring Invitational at Centennial Oaks GC in Waverly, Iowa. The event was reduced to one round because of the cold, snowy weather forecast.
The Blugolds finished at 38-over 326, just behind winner Gustavus Adolphus (321). St. Thomas was third at 329, while host Wartburg finished fourth at 335.
Junior Torie Ives led the Blugolds at 4-over 76. She took second, losing a playoff to St. Thomas’ Laura Heck. Freshman Katie Maurer followed closely, tying for third place at 6-over 78. Freshmen Lauren Gault and Jamie Hauser tied for 22nd place at 14-over 86. Freshman Emily Swift took 36th place (89).
The Blugolds will be back in action Friday and Saturday when they compete in the Carleton College Invitational in Northfield, Minn.
The Green Bay women’s golf team took 14th at the abbreviated Hotels at Grand Prairie Collegiate Classic hosted by Bradley at the WeaverRidge GC in Peoria, Ill. The tournament, which originally was scheduled for 54 holes, was shortened to 36 holes due to Monday’s forecast, which called for snow and high temperatures in the 30s.
The Phoenix finished with a two-round score of 711. Drake claimed the team title at 632, while Missouri State was second in the field at 636.
