BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. – The Minot State ladies golf team takes center stage as they tee off Wednesday for the first of three days of action at the NSIC Women's Golf Championship.
The Beavers head to the Adams Pointe Golf Club in Blue Springs, Missouri, where they last visited at the end of March, for the 54-hole Championship to face 12 conference foes, all competing for the NSIC title.
Minnesota State returns as the two-time defending champion and is the top-ranked NSIC team in the Central Region at No. 11, while Wayne State is ranked No. 14, Augustana is No. 15, Winona State is No. 17, and Concordia-St. Paul is No. 19, meaning the Beavers will be competing against a powerful tournament field this week.
Senior

rd-place finish at the Marauders tournament back in September. In Minot State's previous tournament at the Adams Pointe Golf Club, the NSIC Preview, she shot 20-over 164 (81-83).
