Audrey Meisch, junior from Wichita, KS, recorded her second career individual title for Oklahoma Christian, rallying with a 1-under-par 71 on the final day for a three-shot win in the Augustana Spring Fling at The Classic Club (par 72, 5,901 yards) in Palm Desert, Calif. The long, difficult course features water hazards on nearly every hole, rock-hard greens and wickedly tough pin placements, but Meisch persevered in the final round, posting the only under-par score by any of the 71 players in the field. The tournament included NCAA Division II powers Dallas Baptist (Texas), California Baptist, Augustana (S.D.) and Sonoma State (Calif.), but Meisch led a 1-2-3 individual finish by the Lady Eagles as they pulled away for a decisive 23-shot win.
