Ohio State's Mollie Fankhauser battled Michigan State's Allison Fouch for medalist honors down to the final hole of the tournament. Fouch began the final round with a one-stroke lead but by the 18th hole, the 72nd hole of the tournament, the two were tied. Fankhauser, named the 2001 Big Ten Player of the Year, birdied the 421-yard, par 5 hole, while Fouch struggled to a bogey. Fankhauser's winning total was 301 with rounds of 70, 77, 78 and 76. Purdue's Kari Damron hit a 2-over par 74 in the final round to pull into a tie for second place with Fouch at 303.
Other Michigan State golfers scoring in the top 14 were Stacy Snider fourth at 304, Emily Bastel in a tie for 10th at 308 and Kasey Gant tied for 14th at 309.
Sophomore Karyn Stordahl led the Gophers to a fourth-place tie with Purdue in the team standings, Minnesota's best finish since placing third in 1996. Stordahl tied for sixth with a total of 306 after rounds of 75, 73, 80 and 78.
The All-Big Ten team was announced after the completion of the Championship. In addition to Fankhauser's Big Ten Player of the Year honor, Ohio State's Allison Hanna was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, while Michigan State's Stacy Slobodnik captured Big Ten Coach of the Year acclaim.
Conference champion Michigan State is awarded the Big Ten's automatic qualifier into the NCAA Regional Championship field. The entire NCAA field will be announced on Monday afternoon.
