Golf team bogeys at UNK

The Chadron State women’s golf team traveled to the University of Nebraska-Kearney for the Spring Invite, Monday and Tuesday.

Juniors Schuyler Wetzel, of Hot Springs, South Dakota, and Emma Harris, of Wahoo, shot the team’s best scores. Wetzel shot an 83 in the first 18 holes, and an 88 in the second half for a total of 171. Harris improved on a first round 89 with an 82 in the second, also finishing with 171.

“On Monday the wind was insane,” Harris said. “It made holes impossible to reach in regulation, and even with a solid hit you never knew how much the wind was going to affect each shot. Tuesday was perfect golfing weather with hardly any wind, which made the course incredibly shorter.”

UNK won its home tournament with a total of 633 strokes. Samantha Crawford, of South Jordan, Utah, earned the individual championship for the Lopers with a score of 152. CSC finished the two-day tournament in last place out of eight teams.

Redshirt freshman Mikayla Gallagher, of Lead, South Dakota, aided the Eagles’ efforts with a 187, while Karson Langley, freshman of Sidney, shot a 186. Kelli Haynes, freshman of Whitney, and Danielle Brennan, sophomore of Ellsworth, finished with a 189 and 201, respectively.

CSC will return to action Tuesday and Wednesday, at South Dakota School of Mines.
