“What a fantastic weekend for the women golfers,” said Coach Randall Stuckey. “It’s always interesting to see how teams follow up a strong performance, so after our second lowest round in Gustavus women’s golf history, we followed up with a 305 today which gave the gals the lowest 36 hole score total in women’s golf history. Couldn’t be prouder and happier for the team. We’ve had high expectations for them for a long time and they finally showed what they can do. The biggest highlight of the day was the hole in one by Sydney Regalado on hole number 14.”
