Bloomington, Ind. – The University of Minnesota women's golf team placed in a tie for sixth after completing their third and final round of play on Sunday. After the shotgun start was delayed an hour and a half, the Maroon and Gold played 18 holes on Sunday. The Gophers capped off the event with a score of 308-301-306—915.
Each of Minnesota's top three golfers finished within three strokes of each other. Junior Grace Curran and Senior Geraldine Wong sat at first and second on the Gophers' leaderboard, respectively.
18th-ranked Michigan finished the tournament in first place, led by Ashley Lau's 67-73-68—208 final score.
Quotable
"This wasn't our best overall performance, with the work we've been putting in we have much higher expectations," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "We've got 10 days until the B1G championship and have much to work on. The most important thing we can do collectively is evaluate this result and put in the work on the areas we struggled."
