Original story on gobennies

The College of Saint Benedict Blazer golf team held on to its third place standing after the second round of the MIAC Championships at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids, Minn. St. Olaf still leads the tournament.

The Blazers improved by nine strokes after the first round, and has a two-day score of 655.  St. Olaf has a score of 629, and Gustavus follows with a 642.

Senior Kathryn Hauff (Fargo, ND, Shanley) increased her lead by one stroke after shooting a 78 on Sunday to give her a total score of 151.  Hauff's two-day score is the second best 36 hole score in MIAC Championship history.  Sam Falk from Gustavus sits in second place with a 154.

First-year Grace Todora (Woodbury, MN, Cretin-Derham Hall) shot the best score of the second round with a two-under 71.  That performance set a MIAC Championship record for an 18-hole score and is believed to be the first ever score under par in championship history.

Fellow first-year Bridget Cummings (Chaska, MN, Holy Family) and junior Karly Pratt (Eden Prairie, MN, Holy Family) both shot scores of 87 on Sunday to put them in 25th place and a tie for 26th, respectively.  Sophomore Jillian Sampair (White Bear Lake, MN, Hill-Murray) shot two strokes better than Saturday and is in 35th place.

From the MIAC website:
Saint Benedict's Grace Todora had Sunday's best round - a 1-under par 71 - to move into seventh place (88-71-159) and St. Olaf's Molly Erickson sits in eighth (79-81=160). Todora's 71 is a new MIAC Championships 18-hole record, and it is believed to be the first women's round under par. (Full release)

**CSB Athletics Note: Grace finished the 2011 MIAC Championships tied for eighth with a three-round total of 241, the ninth-best 54-hole score in program history. Her 71 still stands as the school record.**
