EAGLE, Idaho - The Carroll College Men's and Women's Golf teams wrapped up their final round of the season at the Frontier Conference Championship at Banbury Golf Club in Eagle, Idaho on Tuesday.
After some uncertainty that the event would be able to be played in its entirety due to the threat of inclement weather, all players were able to complete the third and final round of the year.
The Carroll Men's team entered the final round 4th in the team event, and were not able to advance their position. The Saints Men finished with a three day total of 1003, behind Providence (990), Montana Tech (904) and tournament champion Rocky Mountain College (885).
Samuel Berry, a Senior from Billings, Mont., was the low-scorer for the Saints this week, capping off his outing with a five over round of 77 to finish +20 and a tie for ninth place in the individual event. Josh Neth carded his best score of the event with a final round 79 to finish in a tie for 14th. Rex Irby finished in a tie for 17th to round out the top three for the Saints.
The Carroll Women's team came into the final round off a strong low team day two of the tournament. However, they were unable to make up enough strokes to claim the team crown, finishing second (1012) behind tournament champion Rocky (985).
Junior Katie Fagg, from Missoula, Mont., turned in another impressive round of 78 to bring her three-day total to 240 and a solo third place finish to the individual competition. Ellie Thiel, a Freshman from Ronan, Mont., kept her game steady all week, posting rounds of 84-83-84 on her way to a solo fifth place finish individually. Finishing right behind Thiel on the final leaderboard was Caroline Hobson, who's final round score of 80 helped secure her sixth place finish.
The outstanding performances from Katie Fagg and Ellie Thiel landed them on the All-Tournament team, made up of the five lowest scoring individuals on each side of the event. This marks back-to-back all-tournament honors at the conference championship for Fagg.
"I'm proud of the way all of our players handled the adversity, schedule changes and weather. Our women put up a fight trying to repeat as champions and did great to finish in second," said head coach Bennett MacIntyre. "Katie Fagg and Ellie Thiel led the way and the future is bright. Our men's team shot better than our season stroke averages and Josh Neth and Samuel Berry capped their careers as all-conference golfers."
The Saints will return home to Helena and begin preparations for the fall season immediately.
