LE MARS, IA – Freshman Taylor Mire made an immediate impact when she joined No. 25 LC State Women’s Golf, and the impact grew this week as the Sandpoint native led the Warriors women at the Northwest Iowa National Invitational. Mire tied for 14th to lead the team to a sixth-place finish at Willow Creek Golf Course.
LC State shot 305 as a team to conclude its 54-hole tournament for a total of 35-over, 899. The Warriors finished 20 strokes ahead of seventh place Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.).
“The women struggled today, but a lot of positives to take from this event and we learned what we have to do to compete on the national level,” coach Zach Anderson said. “Jane (Barry) and Taylor had a strong week and I’m very proud of how they kept up with the game plan.”
Mire tied for 14th in her second collegiate tournament with a three-round score of 5-over, 221. She shot rounds of 71-74-76. Sophomore Jane Barry tied for 17th, two strokes behind Mire, with rounds of 73-71-79 for a total of 7-over, 223. The rounds of 71 for each tied for the best by a Warrior in the tournament.
