Myla Brown of Morningside was second with a 79 while her teammate Alex Mankle and Logan Wagner of Mount Marty tied for third shooting an 80 on the afternoon. Defending individual medalist Lauren Fitts of Dakota Wesleyan was one of four golfers tied for fifth shooting an 81.

Through three rounds Fitts leads the field by 11 strokes with a total of 232. Wagner and Kelsey Marshal of Nebraska Wesleyan are tied for second (243) while Amy Ahlers of Concordia is fourth (247).

The remaining qualifier will be played on May 2, 2016 at Wild Oak Golf Course in Mitchell, South Dakota, to determine the 2015-16 GPAC Women’s Golf Champion and Individual Medalist.

The GPAC will qualify two teams for the NAIA National Golf Championships.  The medalist, if not a member of the championship team, will also advance to the championships.
