The women’s golf team finished second out of seven teams at the MWC Championships this weekend. Illinois College ran away with the three-day meet, besting Grinnell by 110 strokes.
While none of the Pioneers finished among the top 12 golfers overall, the team got consistent play across the board to edge third-place St. Norbert by five strokes. Amy Livingston ’09 led the Pioneers, posting rounds of 92-96-93 to finish 13th with a total score of 279.
Stephanie Goggin ’10 and Caitlin Campbell ’08 tied for 15th with a 282. Haddie Dowson ’08 posted a 293, Jordan Heguy shot a 297, and Marie Liska ’07 shot a 323.
The top four scoring golfers determine a team’s round score each day, so different players can contribute on different days. For example, Dowson’s 93 was used towards the Pioneer team score on Friday, but her 103 on Saturday was not.
Heading into the meet, Livingston said, “Our team goal for the season--for conference--is to finish second, and we think we can do that.”
The Pioneers met that goal and may be in good position to do it again next year. Head coach David Arseneault is slated to lose just two of his top six golfers next season. Liska will graduate, and Campbell plans to study abroad next fall.
Livingston, the long-hitting #1 golfer, has two years of eligibility remaining. Goggin, the #2, has three years remaining.

You go girls!!
I realize it's a bit late, but i want to congratulate Grinnell athletics for their incredible performances last weekend. Very solid outings by the men's cross country team and women's soccer and tennis teams, a dominating effort by the women's cross country team that moved them up 12 places on the national ranking (to 16th!), the best finish by the women's golf team in years (maybe ever?), and thrilling last second wins by the football and men's soccer teams. congrats to all the teams! this could be a banner fall for grinnell sports.
