?This tournament was a difficult test of golf ? long rounds and extremely tough conditions,? said Minnesota head coach Melissa Arthur. ?I hope this tournament made us a better golf team.?
Alabama's Sarah Johnston captured medallist honors with a score of 231, 15 strokes over par.
Junior Karyn Stordahl paced the Gophers, tying for 13th place with a score of 240 after rounds of 78, 83 and 79.
