FARGO, N.D. - On Monday afternoon, over 100 UND alumni, coaches, and friends gathered at the Oxbow Country Club for the Fargo leg of the 2011 Sioux-Per Swing Tour sponsored by Sanford Health.
Throughout the day, golfers participated in a number of on-course events, including a chipping contest, putting with a hockey goalie stick, a par three contest and a number of flag contests.
Following the golfing portion of the day, Christopher Gabriel, host of the Christopher Gabriel Program on AM 970 WDAY in Fargo, served as the dinner emcee as the golfers heard from Director of Athletics Brian Faison, head men's hockey coach Dave Hakstol, head volleyball coach Ashley Hardee, associate head women's basketball coach Travis Brewster, assistant head football coach Mike Mannausau, and assistant football coach Greg Breitbach.

Proceeds from the 2011 Sioux-Per Swing Tour go towards the funding of Impact Scholarship for UND student-athletes. The greatest impact of UND's move to D-I is the need for immediate scholarships to level our playing fields and continue to recruit quality student-athletes who excel athletically and academically.
