Both men and women’s golf had amazing results over the week as they both finished in the top half of the tournaments they were in.
The Rangers finished sixth out of 18 in the Tommy Riggs Collegiate Invitational in Pittsburg, Kansas. The women placed first in the ABC Supply Invitational, winning over four other GAC teams in Enid.
The men had a total score of +55, finishing just one stroke better than Missouri Western. The women also had a score of +55, three strokes better than Southeastern Oklahoma.
Chris Xiao was the best Ranger of the day as he finished 11th with a score of +11. Mathieu Zerwin was not far behind as he finished 15th with a score of +12.
Pierce Geminden finished 28th with a score of +15. Further down the order were Zac Farmer if 67th with a score of +25 and An-chieh Tsai in 79th with a score of +28.
The Rangers have no more competitions before the GAC Championship. The Rangers have bested all teams in various competitions besides Harding. Southwestern has topped the Rangers thrice and the two teams tied in the Perkins Cup, the head-to-head competition in the fall semester. The Rangers look to have a good finish in the GAC Championship.
Over in Enid, Northwestern had two of the top three golfers.
Gracie Doke finished 2nd with a score of +7. Just behind Doke was Tess Linden in 3rd with a score of +10.
Heather Hunkele finished 8th with a score of +19. Amanda Lane and Kelsey Hoy-Pollard tied for 14th with identical scores of +23. Ava Borne finished 25th with a score of +39.
The Lady Rangers have one more competition before the GAC Championship. They will be at Monkey Island at the Shangri-La Country Club to compete in the Spring Regional Preview hosted by Rogers State.
