Forty-two golfers competed in the tournament.
“I thought the ladies performed at a high level,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “It’s fun when everyone is playing well at the same time. The team that finished ahead of us were both high-quality NAIA teams. I’m proud of our ladies and assistant coach Katie Johnston for all of their preparation to get better, because it really showed.”
The Buccaneers return to the links on Monday, March 6, at The Happening tournament at the Texas A&M Colf Club in College Station, Texas.
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 42 NJCAA national championships since 1987.
