HASTINGS, Minn. - Molly Erickson fired a 77, her second in as many days, to win the individual crown by two strokes and help St. Olaf to the team title at the ACM Invitational on Sunday at Bellwood Golf Club.

Erickson's two-round 154 is a school record while the rounds of 77 each rank third in school history.
