The field of competition was fierce for the NSU women's golf team as they stepped out on the course Friday, Sept. 17 in Wayne, Neb., at the Wayne State Women's Invite.

The women's golf team is short a few players this season and only had three golfers compete in the invite. Because there were not enough golfers to score as a team, the ladies only competed in the individual category and came up a little short. Sophomore Krista Mergens, Cottage Grove, Minn., led the group in scoring with a 99. Following her was senior Carin Rambow, Litchfield, Minn., with a 106. Sophomore Maggie McGuire, Lake Preston. finished right behind with a 112.

The invite hosted many area schools including Dakota Wesleyan, University of Nebraska Omaha, Wayne State University, Midland, Concordia St. Paul, Hastings College, Morningside College, and NSU. Dakota Wesleyan took home the team award. Dakota Wesleyan's number one golfer, Amanda Young, won the overall medal with a score of 77 for the day.
