CSC Golf shows improvement in Pueblo, Colorado

The Chadron State golf team turned in their best performance of the year at a 36-hole tournament this weekend at the Pack Spring Invite in Pueblo, Colorado. The Eagles finished with a team score of 684 strokes and a 12th place finish in the tournament at Walking Stick Golf Club.
Chadron State’s strong play in the opening round paved the way for a great tournament. The first-round score of 328 was the 6th best in school history. The Eagles were led by Sam Rahmig, junior of Gering. Her Sunday round of 76 was the best of her collegiate career. Rahmig’s Monday round of 85 contributed to her finish in a tie for 30th place.
The remaining golfers all showed improvements and posted collegiate-best tournament scores. Adrianna Weeldreyer, freshman of Newell, South Dakota cut 11 strokes off her previous collegiate best tournament score at 80-87-167. Tori Meschke, freshman of Broken Bow, also showed improvement with a score of 85-90-175 subtracting 10 strokes from her previous best tournament at Chadron State.
The Eagle golfers were rounded out by Logan Kasten, freshman of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Her final score of 87-94-181 was also a collegiate best. More consistent play from the freshman has been key to the Eagles success this spring.
“I’m proud of the hard work the girls are putting in,” said head coach John Ritzen. “It is finally starting to show on the course.”
The Eagle golfers have a weekend off to sharpen their game before heading to Arkansas for their next tournament. Chadron State will compete in the Hardscrabble Invitational April 9 and 10. This tournament provides the Eagles a final chance to improve before the RMAC Championships beginning April 22.
