FERGUS FALLS, MINN. – VCSU junior Jocelyn Braunberger won medalist honors Monday as the Valley City State golf teams played their final tournament of the 2020 fall season.

Braunberger carded a round of 82 on Monday to best a field of 11 women’s golfers in the M-State Triangular played at Pebble Lake Golf Course in Fergus Falls, Minn. It was a career-best round for Braunberger and her fourth career victory.

Golfers battled windy conditions throughout the day and scattered precipitation in the morning.

The Viking men put together their best team score of the season Monday, carding a 317 to finish second in the three-team tournament. They were five shots back of M-State Fergus Falls, which won the triangular with a 312 total. VCSU’s 317 was 15 shots better than their team score Sunday on the same course.

VCSU’s Rory Gentzkow and Jayden Ewoniuk tied for third place individually after both shot rounds of 78 on Monday. Taylor Finlayson finished sixth with an 80 and Brady Warcken rounded out the team score with an 81 to place eighth.

Valley City State’s women shaved seven shots off their team score from Sunday on the same course. VCSU’s 364 was 10 shots back of champion Dickinson State. Hayley Shanks and Ashley McKittrick tied for sixth place after shooting rounds of 92, and Megan Haugrud placed 9th with a round of 98.

Up next: Valley City State golfers will take the winter off before resuming their season in early April.
