Augustana University Women's Golf 3-Peats NSIC Championship

Augustana Women’s Golf Team captured its third-straight NSIC Championship Sunday in Smithville, Missouri. All five individuals finished in the top-13 at the three-day event.

“We are so proud of this team! The winds were causing issues for everyone today. Our motivation for the week was to have a good mindset. In golf there is time to think between shots and sometimes that can turn into a bad thought! Having a positive attitude and talking nice to yourself helped us through the tournament! Now we will prepare for Regionals.” Head Coach Coralee Jorgensen.

The win is the 12th NSIC Championship for the Vikings.
