NIACC places fourth at Viking Invite

ANKENY - The NIACC women's golf team shot a 363 Tuesday at the second day of the Grand View Viking Invitational at the Otter Creek Golf Course.

NIACC's two-day total in its final tournament of the fall season was 340-363 - 703 and placed fourth. Host Grand View was the team champion with a 312-316 - 703.

"Overall, this was a good couple of days for this team," NIACC coach Chris Frenz said. "They're disappointed they didn't play better (Tuesday) after an outstandind day (Monday).

"With a shot gun start, starting in the middle of the courseon some difficult opening holes and windy conditions, I thought they played pretty well."

NIACC was led by sophomore Alyssa Alert, who shot 76-87 - 163. Sophomore Kirsten Boerjan shot 78-86 - 164.

Also for the Trojans, sophomore Sophie Lunning shot 91-90 - 181 and freshman Karissa Hoon shot 95-99 - 194.

"We had a few too many holes with big numbers," Frenz said, "and when it's windy it's hard to get thos back.

"This was a good way to end the fall season. We know we can compete with some of the best teams in our league. We just need to be consistent. A lot of positives can be taken away from the past few days."

Team standings - Grand View 312-316 - 628; Iowa Lakes 335-338 - 673; DMACC 342-339 - 681; NIACC 340-363 - 703; Iowa Central 371-358 - 729.
