SHELBY, Mont. - The Carroll College Golf Teams wrapped up play at the MSU-Northern Invitational on Tuesday at Marias Valley Golf Club In Shelby, Mont. Both the Men and Women finished third place in the team competition, posting team scores of +156 and +110 respectively.

The Carroll College Golf teams began their 2022-23 campaigns on the Hi-Line much the same that they ended the 2021-22 season. 

It is a new look for the Saints on the Men's side of the action. Following the graduation of several seniors, the bulk of the Carroll Five were Freshman making their first collegiate appearance.

Pacing the Saints for the week was Leo Werschay (St. Augusta, Minn. / FR), who fired rounds of 80-79-79 to finish tied for 16 in the Men's Individual competition. Another Freshman, Caleb Spangler (Havre, Mont. / FR) had a good showing at a course he is familiar with, shooting rounds of 84-81-89. Kaden Matheny (Missoula, Mont. / FR) rounded out the top 3 for the men, finishing with rounds of 95-79-92.

The Women's team played a 36 hole event, and Carroll saw both a familiar name, and a newcomer lead the way.

The Saints had a pair of top-10 finishers this week as Katie Fagg (Missoula, Mont. / JR) and Transfer Makayla Christiansen (Oakdale, Calif. / JR) both finished at 168 (+24), tied for ninth place on the individual side. Stella Claridge (Kalispell, Mont. / FR) had an impressive collegiate debut, finishing at 173 (+29) and top-15.

Rocky Mountain College won the team title for both the Men and Women, with Montana Tech taking second on each side, followed by Carroll in third.

The Saints will return to action next Monday and Tuesday at home as they host the Carroll College Invitational at Bill Roberts Golf Course.
