MAPLEWOOD, Minn. – In its final tune-up before the NCAA Division III National Championship, the University of Northwestern Women's Golf team took on Augsburg University in a dual at Keller Golf Course on Thursday afternoon. Due to the Auggies only having three players, no team scores were kept. However, UNW put up a strong showing including a pair of first-place finishes on its way to shooting 332 (+44) as a team.
 
This probably wasn't hard to guess, but the two Eagles who tied for first place (along with Augsburg's Elizabeth Fagerlind) were sophomores Morgan Eckman (Jordan, Minn./Jordan) and Paige Johnson (Zimmerman, Minn./Homeschool). The pair each shot 80 (+8) with 10 pars apiece, while Eckman carded a birdie on the par-three 15^th hole.
 
Isabelle Lee (Stillwater, Minn./St. Croix Prep) had a career day despite the overcast conditions, birdieing the 12^th hole en route to a career-best 85 (+13), which is six shots clear of her previous low round. Sondra Melby (Ham Lake, Minn./Legacy Christian Academy) had a good day as well, turning in a final tally of 87 (+15). Ellie Rolland (Otsego, Minn./Rogers) closed things out with a 93 (+21).
 
The Eagles will have some time off to get dialed in for the NCAA DIII National Championship, beginning May 11^th in Williamsburg, Virginia. We will have plenty of coverage from Virginia on unweagles.com and @unweagles on social media.
