MSU-Northern golf teams finish strong in Missoula

The Montana State University-Northern golf teams wrapped up the 2013 season Tuesday afternoon at the Frontier Conference Championships in Missoula.

The Lights and Skylights played a final 18 holes Tuesday in what was a windy, two-day tournament held at Larchmont Golf Course.

The Lights wound up with a final team total of 979, which was good enough for sixth place among the eight-team field. Senior Jeremy Jensen was the top scorer for Northern, finishing with a 54-hole total of 231. Jensen shot 76 on his final 18 holes, and wound up with scores of 74-81-76. Justin Newton fired a 75 Tuesday to finish at 236. His three rounds went 81-80-75. Matt Hedstrom came in at 242 after shooting 76-85-81 and Royce Edwards shot 270 after rounds of 90-87-93.

In a close race, Lewis-Clark State topped Carroll College by two strokes for the Frontier men's title. Westminster finished a close third, followed by Rocky Mountain College and Great Falls. Northern finished in front of Montana Tech and Dickinson State.

The Skylights didn't field a full team for the 54-hole women's championship, so they didn't record a team score. Ashley Hooper paced the Skylights with rounds of 103-98-94 for a 295. Kirsten Bense shot rounds of 104-103-101 for a 308. Taylor Faulkinberry finished with 114-110-102 for 326.

LC State also won the women's title Tuesday.
