NSIC Women's Golf Championship: USF finishes 8th

Smithville, MO - The final round of the 2021-22 NSIC Championship came to an end in Smithville today with the University of Sioux Falls Women's Golf team in 8th place. 

 

The Cougars shot 54-over 342 as a team today with 12th place, and 1st Team All-NSIC honoree, Maggie Veenendall leading the Cougars at nine-over 81. Overall the Cougars shot 179-over 1043 throughout the three rounds to place them 8th in this year's conference championship.

 

Head Coach Wade Merry with a look back on his first season coaching USF Women's Golf and what the future looks like for the team: 

"This team is really close to being great, the results this weekend are deceiving. We had multiple team and individual titles plus two NSIC Golfers of the week this season and showed flashes of just how good we can be. There's work to be done but it doesn't start in the Fall, it starts with hard work over the summer. The strides we make in the offseason will be the key to turning those flashes into consistently great play next season. This year was a great learning experience for me as a coach. Getting to know this team and help them improve as golfers and people has been a wonderful experience. I cannot wait for next season to begin."
