Bulldog linksters see improvement during busy week

11-15 SEP 2007

The Concordia University, Nebraska women's golf team had a busy week, participating in the "GPAC Preview" meet Tuesday and the Dana Invite on Saturday.

The "GPAC Preview", hosted by Doane College was played at Wilderness Ridge in Lincoln, Neb., and allowed the players to get a feel for the course that will host the GPAC Championships.

At the meet the Bulldogs finished in 10th place, carding a 433 for the day. The best score for Concordia was by Danielle Durham with a 105. A pair of Bulldogs, Jennifer Schulteis and Chelsea Karmann, finished a stroke behind their teammate at 106.

On Saturday in Blair, Neb., the Bulldogs accomplished something as a team that hasn't been done for the past three years at Concordia. They finished below 400, showing that the team members are in fact making strides to becoming more consistent golfers. The 398 score was good enough for seventh out of 10 teams.

Individual at Dana the Bulldogs had a pair of players shoot below 100. Karmann carded a 96 while Natalie Swanda turned in a 97. Schulteis also continued her consistent play, finishing with a total of 101.

For Concordia the Bulldogs shot a 787 (391-396) to take seventh place. The score is the best by a Concordia women's golf team in the past three years.

"I am amazed at the improvement the team has made in the last two meets," said Head Coach Carl Everts. "The 391 on Thursday was seven strokes better than the 398 last Saturday and the 36-hole total of 787 is also the best in 3 years."
