The tournament, played at the 6.100-yard par 72 Briarcrest Country Club, was shortened to 36 holes from 54 due to weather and course conditions. Ohio State's Mollie Fankhauser captured medalist honors with rounds of 76 and a tournament-low 74 for a 6-over par total of 150.
Junior Karyn Stordahl was the top Gopher individual, finishing in a tie for 17th place after rounds of 79 and 80 for 159. Rookie Tai Kinney, who was tied for seventh place after the first round, followed her round of 77 with
an 84 to fall to a tie for 25th at 161.
