MARSHALL, Minn. – The Gustavus women’s golf team Sunday finished in sixth place at the EverSpring Inn Mustang Invite. The Gusties shot a 330-323-653. Augustana (S.D.) won the event with a total of 616.
Annika Reierson (Jr., Delano) had a career weekend, finishing in second place on the individual leaderboard with a two-round total of 72-77-149 (+5). Reierson had five birdies in her first round and another three on Sunday. Laurel Ward (Sr., Bozeman, Mont.) tied for 15th with a score of 81-80-161.

“It was Annika Reierson’s weekend today as she followed up a good round yesterday with another one today,” Assistant Coach Randy Stuckey said. “Her ball striking and putting were exceptional. It is one of the best performances that I’ve seen from a woman’s individual in many years. Her progression has been phenomenal and peaking at the right time. We were much more comfortable today as the scores indicate. Again, we must get a better start on day one instead of waiting until day too. Looking forward to a week of preparation for our conference tournament next weekend.”
The Gusties compete at the MIAC Championships next Saturday through Monday at Bunker Hills.
