HOUSTON, Texas -- UND finished the final day of the Great West Conference Women's Golf Championship with a 335, catapulting them ahead of Utah Valley and giving the Sioux a fourth-place finish for the second year in a row.
The Sioux carded a three-round score of 1011 (346-330-335) at the championship. Tournament host Houston Baptist took home the conference crown with 939
(314-305-320), finishing 18 shots ahead of Texas-Pan American. The
Huskies are now repeat conference champs after last years victory.
Senior Molly Martin (Ramsey, Minn.) improved again on the final day of the GWC Championship scratching a final-round 76, a career-low, on her scorecard and giving her a three day total of 241 (86-79-76). Martin's four-over moved her four more spots to finish tied for sixth at the championship.
Martin's 241 total got her named to the All-Tournament Second Team. It was Martin's second time receiving the honor.
Martin's final-round 76 was the fifth lowest score at the tourney and allowed Martin to leapfrog teammate sophomore Chivas Beaudoin (Dickinson, N.D.), who was UND's clubhouse leader after day two. Beaudoin carded a final round 85 for a three day total of 247 (79-83-85) for a 11th place finish.
