Several NSIC programs will be in attendance, including Concordia-St. Paul, Minot State, Wayne State, Sioux Falls, Minnesota State Mankato, and Augustana. In addition, Rockhurst, Washburn, Missouri Western State, Northeastern State, and Upper Iowa will also compete.

The Golden Eagles will face strong competition, as Augustana, Washburn, Wayne State, and Minnesota State all rank among the top 100 teams nationally. Minnesota Crookston currently holds a national ranking of 140th and is the seventh-highest-ranked team in the NSIC this season.

Junior Anaka Lynse (Jr., Wahpeton, N.D.) has been a standout performer this spring. She secured her second career top-five finish in her season debut and followed it up with an individual win at the 2025 Southwest Minnesota State University Classic at Wigwam Resort, the largest tournament win in program history. Lynse is currently ranked seventh in the NSIC, averaging a score of 78.2 per round. She joins senior Clara Hanson (Sr., Grand Forks, N.D.), who previously won the 2024 USF Invitational and is ranked in the NSIC's top 20.

As a team, the Golden Eagles are averaging 329.1 strokes per round, placing them seventh in the NSIC. They will look to build on this as they take on a highly competitive field in Smithville.
