The St. Olaf Women?s Golf Team opened the 2003 season this weekend at Wildflower Golf Course near Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The Ole women played in the 18-hole Cobber Open on Friday, followed by the 36-hole Concordia Invitational on Saturday and Sunday.

The team shot a 370 on Friday and finished in seventh place for the one day event. On Saturday, the Ole golfers shot a record team score, 356, the lowest that Coach Le Ann Finger has seen in her six years as head coach. On Sunday, the team shot a 364 to finish tenth out of 16 teams entered in the tournament. The event consisted of many teams from Division II universities from Minnesota, North and South Dakota; out of the six MIAC schools present, the Oles took finished in fourth place.

The team was led by Naomi Schwegler (Sr., Albany, Minn.) Abby Sprenger (Sr., Rancho Mirage, Calif.) and Stacia Polzin (Jr., Bloomington, Minn) who turned in scores that counted toward the team scores all three days. Also competing for the Oles this weekend were Britt Bunke (Rushford, Minn), Kelli Behr (Northfield, Minn.) and Jaimie Didier (Rapid City, South Dakota).

Next up for the Ole linksters is the Luther Invitational in Decorah, Iowa on Sept. 20th, where the team will face some nationally ranked teams from Division II and III schools from Minnesota and Iowa.
