Augustana University women’s golf won its eighth straight Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Championship on Sunday finishing the 54-hole tournament at 39-over-par 903 (304-305-294).

The Vikings fired a tournament-low round of 6-over-par 294 as a team on Sunday and won the team title by 52 strokes over second-place Minnesota State, Mankato (+91 955 (323-317-315).

Augustana had four players finish in the top-5 and all five in the top-10. Kali Trautman fired a 1-over-par 73 on Sunday to finish at 7-over-par 223 (75-75-73) to win individual medalist honors at the conference championship for the second straight season.

Trautman becomes the second Viking to win individual medalist honors twice in a career, joining Maggie Leland who won the title in 2011-12 and 2013-14. Augustana has had the individual medalist at the NSIC Championship now six straight seasons and seven times since joining the NSIC in 2008-09.   Trautman was 3-over-par when she made the turn before firing a pair of birdies on the back nine to finish 1-over-par to secure her second straight individual conference title.
