OXBOW, N.D. -- The University of North Dakota women's golf team wrapped up its first tournament of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday at the NDSU Invitational from Oxbow Country Club in Oxbow, N.D. 

As a team, UND finished the event in third with a team score of 628 (+52) -- headlined by a sub-300 round in Tuesday's opener. North Dakota State captured the team title with a 589 (+13) while NDSU's Lily Vincelli won the individual crown with a 143 (-1). 

Junior Gigi Lund opened up her season with strong play, pacing the Fighting Hawks with a 152 (+8) to sit tied for fifth overall. The Bellevue, Wash., native started off with a bang, carding a career-low 71 (-1) over the first 18 holes to sit in second place entering the final round before shaving eight strokes off her previous 36-hole best to finish with the 152 and notch her second top-5 finish of her career. 

Freshman Sophie Cook was also solid in her collegiate debut, just missing a top-10 finish by placing in a tie for 12th with a 155 (+11). The rookie also made a strong impression over her first 18 holes with a 73 (+1) to sit just two shots outside of the top-10. 

Sophomore transfer Mallory Uselman and freshman Kate McComb rounded out the top-15 finishers for UND, with the duo sitting 14th and 15th after scoring a 159 (+15) and 160 (+16), respectively. The trio of Annika Jyrkas, Jaya Grube and Emersyn Walker all finished tied for 17th with a 164 (+20) while Lindsay Astrup closed out the top-20 on the leaderboard with a 166 (+22). 

Freshmen Maddy Trapnell and Kylie Duchsherer were the final Fighting Hawks to compete, each beginning their collegiate careers by finishing 24th and 25th, respectively.
