Lakers Take 1st Win of Spring at Iowa Central

The Iowa Lakes women's golf team got back to their winning ways this weekend, taking home the team championship at the Iowa Central Spring Invite with a thirty-seven shot victory over second place NIACC. 

Coach Weber had this to say about his team: "This tournament was a true team effort with everybody finishing in the top eight. The ladies showed a lot of growth this weekend and it was a big step in the right direction for this team to get ready for the regional tournament next week."

Leading the way for the Lakers was Abby Stender and Erin Baum who both posted two day totals of 172 which was good enough for a T-2nd finish. Not far behind was Molly Diekmann posting 178 in a T-4th, and Alexia Kemper and Annika DuMoulin posting 182 finishing in a T-8th.

"This has a been a very quick spring for this team, but I truly believe that after this tournament the girls are ready for this upcoming weekend in Ankeny. Every single one of them gained a lot of confidence in different aspects of their games this weekend, and we will be ready for Otter Creek", added Coach Weber.

The 18th ranked Iowa Lakes women's golf team will be heading down to Otter Creek Golf Club in Ankeny, Iowa this upcoming Friday and Saturday to compete in the first leg of the women's Region XI Tournament. The Lakers will get a week off to tighten their games before heading back down to Otter Creek for the second weekend and rounds three and four on April 26th and 27th.
