HOW IT HAPPENED
• Kraft shattered Augsburg's program record for a 36-hole tournament, finishing in a tie for third place in the 45-golfer field with a 154 (73-81) score. The previous school record for a 36-hole event was 159, set by Marisa Navarro in 2005. Her first-round 73 is the second-best single-round effort in school history, behind a round of 72 set by Navarro in 2005.
• As a team, Augsburg finished the two-day, 36-hole tournament with a 680 (334-346) total, the third-best 36-hole tournament score in the 25-season history of the program (1991-92, 1994-95 to present), falling three strokes short of its 677 total in last weekend's Saint Benedict Invitational. The first-round 334 score is now tied for the second-best single-round score in program history, with the second-round 346 tied for seventh-best.
• Elizabeth Fagerlind (FY, Kasson, Minn./Kasson-Mantorville HS) finished in a tie for 14th place with a 169 (86-83) total, just a stroke off her collegiate debut effort of 168 last weekend.
