SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Projected to finish first in the NSIC this season, the Augustana women's golf team begins its season Monday at the Midwest Intercollegiate Invitational in Warrensburg, Missouri. Central Missouri is set to host the event at the Mules National Golf Club.

"We are thrilled to be competing again," head coach Coralee Jorgensen said. "Although the weather may not prove to be perfect, we do know how to play golf in adverse conditions! The field is strong with twenty teams competing. We look forward to the competition."

Golfing commences Monday with one round and will conclude on Tuesday with a final round. Central Missouri will play host to the two-day event at the Mules National Golf Club. The course stretches 6,362 yards, features four par-fives and a course par of 70. Course details can be found here.

The Vikings
After winning four of seven team events in 2019-20, the 2020-21 Augustana women's golf team brings in a roster of nine athletes: three freshmen, two sophomores, two juniors and two seniors, for the spring season.

A Crosslake, Minnesota, native, senior Alex Stone comes into the 2020-21 season as Augustana's Preseason Golfer To Watch. The two-time All-NSIC golfer placed first in three-of-seven events during the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season en route to NSIC Golfer of the Week honors twice and 75.67 average strokes per round.

Fellow senior, Natalie Young, returns to Augustana after a 2019-20 campaign in which she averaged 79.27 strokes per round with one top-five finish. Juniors Kait Asklund (84.54 strokes per round) and Hanna Morin (84.17 strokes per round) and sophomore Molly Stevens (78.90 strokes per round with two top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes) account for three more Viking returners.

Sophomore Sophia Salter (Sioux Falls, S.D.) and freshmen Rachel Halvorson (Madison, Minn.), Rachel Schwarz (Marshall, Minn.) and Lauren Tims (Sioux Falls, S.D.) will debut for the Vikings in 2020-21.
