ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The Gustavus women’s golf team continued competition at the 2024 MIAC Championships, holding position in fifth after round two. The Gusties carded a 338 at the St. Cloud Country Club for a two-round total of 668. 

St. Catherine is leading the field by 20 shots after round two, with a 299-304-603, followed by Carleton with a 623. Bethel is one shot behind the Knights in second with a 624. Macalester, in fourth, is 20 shots ahead of the Gusties. 

Riley Zebroski (So., Watertown, S.D.) is leading the Gustie team, with a round two 80 for a 162 and 20th overall. Zebroski, along with Lauren Hubbart (Jr., Hastings) and Maren Masters (So., Shakopee) all carded a birdie on hole one to start the day. Zebroski and Hubbart each added another to their total later in the round.

Hubbart is in 26th after carding an 83. Kenna Henriksen (Fy., Olivia) in her first championship weekend, is in 25th after posting an 86 on Sunday. Masters is one shot behind Hubbart in 27th with an 82-89-171. Jenna Piepkorn (Jr., Plymouth) is in 35th to round out the Gustie team.

“Our score did not indicate it today, but I felt like we played better golf,” said Head Coach Scott Moe ’95. “The wind made the course a little bit more challenging and the speed of the greens were a little faster. It was a nice round today by Riley. We got off to a great start and tomorrow we need to be more comfortable with having early success. The fall season goes by very quick, we finish up our five weeks of competition with our final round tomorrow and looking forward to a great end of the season.”

Individually, four athletes from St. Catherine are in the top five, with Kyra Venne shooting a 151 (72-79) through the first two rounds. Zebroski is five shots out of the top 10 after Sunday’s round.

The Gusties tee off first tomorrow morning, starting with Piepkorn at 10 a.m. to finish their fall season.
