Women's Golf gets second, Heck is medalist

No. 3-ranked Gustavus shot 318-334-652 to win by 31 strokes. St. Thomas (343-340/683) and UW-Eau Claire (356-327/683) topped fourth-place St. Ben's (699) by 16 strokes. Wartburg (702(, St. Olaf (704), Luther (705), Macalester (709) and Carleton (710) rounded out the top nine teams.
