Bemidji, Minn. - Behind a season-best 327, Bemidji State bettered both North Dakota and North Dakota State at the BSU Invitational held today at the Bemidji Town & Country Club. Senior Jeanne Larson took top individual honors with an 81 (39-42) - four of the top-five finishers belonged to the Beavers.

“ To break 330 and have four out of the top five finishers is amazing,” said head coach Annette Tingelstad. “There were some very solid scores as the top four (of Bemidji State’s) were all so close. We definitely had a season-best team score.”

Coming in behind Larson was senior Marci Falldorf (39-42=81), junior Tracy Depew(42-40=82), junior Dana Hasselberg (44-39=83) in the second, fourth and fifth spots. Jessica Manson from North Dakota State took third with an 82 (42-40).
