SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Three Bison finished inside the top 20 as the North Dakota State women's golf team took home fourth place at the MSU/Payne Stewart Memorial on Tuesday afternoon.
The Bison (306-302-295–903) closed the tournament in a tie for fourth at +51 overall. It is their fourth consecutive tournament finishing inside the top five as a team, the second time they've accomplished that feat in the past three seasons. They ended 28 strokes back of first-place Oral Roberts (300-287-288–875). Missouri State (295-296-288–879) and South Dakota (291-303-305–899) rounded out the top three.
Hannah Dunk (74-73-77–224) and Belle Kongshaug (78-75-71–224) both ended in a tie for 13th place at +11 overall. Dunk earned her fourth consecutive top 15 finish, after seventh, eighth, and 11th place finishes to open the year. She used birdies on holes 5 and 9 to kick off her round and finished at just two-over on the front nine across the three rounds. Kongshaug fired a career-low round of 71 on the final day to jump up 11 spots on the leaderboard. She fired a bogey-free 34 on the front-nine that featured a birdie on hole 3 and carded a birdie on hole 18 for good measure. It is Kongshaug's third top 20 finish on the season.
Norah Roberts (75-75-75–225) continued to stay the course and fired another 75, finishing in a tie for 19th at +12 overall. Roberts collected 13 pars and a birdie in the final round, carding an even-par 36 on the back nine. Roberts joins Kongshaug with her third top 20 finish of the season.
Avery Bartels (79-79-72–230) finished in a tie for 30th at +17 overall. Bartels climbed up the leaderboard in the third round with a one-over 72 by firing a team-high six birdies. She carded a three-under 33 on the back nine, including a stretch of three birdies over holes 15 to 18.
Lauren Chambs (81-81-83–247) wrapped up the tournament in 60th at +34 overall. She collected 27 pars over the three rounds, including eight on the final day.
Jeri Lafleche (79-74-79–232) competed as an individual and finished in a tie for 33rd at +19 overall. She tied her career-low with a 74 in round two, thanks to a stretch of eight holes that included four birdies and four pars. She fired two birdies in the final round, bringing her total to eight over the tournament.

The Bison will take a week off before wrapping up their fall schedule by returning to the Clash at Boulder Creek. The tournament will be hosted by Northern Arizona at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Henderson, Nevada on October 25-27.
