Butte, MT-  The third and final round came to a close Tuesday afternoon in Butte, Montana, and the L-C women walked away convincingly from the Frontier Conference golf tournament, shooting a team best 984 to claim the title.  The second closest team was Rocky Mountain, where they finished 27 strokes behind the Lady Warriors.  The opening golf tournament of the fall season, hosted by Montana Tech, found 5 Warriors shooting scores in the overall top ten, including medalist winner Nikki Olson (shown here).  Olson, a sophomore from Meridian, Idaho, finished the 3 round par 72 course with a total of 235.

On the men’s side, L-C found themselves in a three way battle for the top team spot.  Tech ended up edging out L-C by 6 strokes to take the tournament, shooting a team total 872, followed by L-C at 878, and Rocky Mountain College at 882.  Jeff Smith led the L-C men overall with a 214, just 1 stroke behind the medalist winner.  Followed by David Nuhn, who shot a 216, and Nik Arrenbrecht with a 219 total.

Both Warrior golf teams are back in action next Monday and Tuesday, as they travel to Helena, Mt. for another Frontier Conference tournament, this one hosted by Carroll College.
