The M State Golf Team participated in two meets hosted by UM-Morris at two different courses on Monday and Tuesday. Ellia Soydara was the Women's medalist in both events, firing a 78 at Ruttger's Bay in Deerwood on Monday and then shooting an 82 on Tuesday at Tianna Country Club in Walker. Soydara finished in fourth place individually at last year's NJCAA Division III National Championship. The two wins bring to five the total number of medalist honors Soydara has achieved dating back to last season.
"It was great to get a new season going," commented Head Coach Jason Retzlaff of M State. "Ellia was tremendous over both days. Shooting 78 and 82 on two difficult courses was a fantastic way to start the season. She drove the ball extremely well and made a lot of good putts. It will be exciting to watch her sophomore year unfold as she continues to improve."
