Head coach Bryant Friskop says that his team continues to show signs of being a top team in the NSIC.
 
"It's been the story of our season so far where we have a really solid day one to put us in a great position and then let a few holes get away from us on day two," said Friskop. "Overall, this team has shown the capabilities of being a top team in the NSIC and we continue to show that we have what it takes to be one of those top teams, we just need to find a way to put together 36 holes in a two day span."
 
Friskop also mentions that these types of tournaments are valuable to the growth of the Golden Eagles.
 
"We are a young group and all of this experience is crucial for the development as Division II collegiate golf players. I am very proud of this group and it's been so much fun this fall watching them compete and improve and the future is very bright for Golden Eagles women's golf."
 
Minnesota Crookston will wrap-up their fall portion of their schedule next Monday and Tuesday at the University of Sioux Falls Invitational in Larchwood, Iowa.
