Men's and Women's Golf Compete in their Second Meet of the Season

The RedTails Men's and Women's Golf teams competed this last week with the men taking home fifth place in their second tournament of the year in Galena, Ill.

The men's team had a solid performance, shooting a team score of 317 and finishing fifth in the overall standings out of the 17 teams competing. Luke Galeazzi was able to take home first place overall shooting a 73. Melker Anderson and Grant Dekruyf both tied for fifteenth shooting 80. Sacha Brown tied for thirty-sixth shooting 84 and Broc Shaw rounded out the team tieing for fifty-ninth shooting an 89.

The men's second group had some strong finishes as well with Austin Reynolds shooting an 81. Carson Slezak with an 82. Max Naumann with an 86. Emil Christensen with an 87 and rounding out the second team was Kody Hoeger shooting a 99.

The women also competed in their second meet as a program at Hawkeye and both women who competed had impressive finishes. Chase Doland was able to finish in fourth place individually shooting an 85. Olivia Hammel also competed and was able to tie for ninth place shooting a 93.

Head coach Micah Destival had some praising words after the RedTails second tournament of the new young season.

"Spectacular play today by Luke Galeazzi and Chase Doland," he said. "Fun to see Luke get his first win as a RedTail and to do it finishing in the dark with a couple of great shots on 18 was a great way to end a long day on the course. Seventy-three was a great round as the course was set up so difficult the avg score was 88.5. Chase played solid again against a good field and on a tough course. Looking forward to getting back at it next Thursday at Mason City Country Club."

The RedTails next matchup will come Thursday, September 8, at the Mason City Country Club as they compete in the NIACC Fall Invite teeing off at 10:30 am.
