Johnson Leads Cobbers To Eighth Place At MIAC Meet

COON RAPIDS, Minn. (10/06/14)—Hayley Johnson completed her breakout conference meet for Concordia by leading the Cobbers from wire-to-wire at the MIAC Championship Meet at Bunker Hills GC. Johnson finished with a three-day total of 250 to help Concordia to an eighth-place finish.

Johnson, who was the team's No.5 golfer at last year's conference meet, completed the three-day tournament with an 87. She started the conference meet with an 81 and then carded an 82 on Sunday to finish with a total of 250 which was good for a tie for 23rd place. She was the only CC golfer to place in the top 25.

Johnson bookends the season by leading the Cobbers at a tournament. She also led the team at the season-opening Cobber Open on Sept. 5.

Johnson was four shots clear of teammate Katie Nelson who shot three rounds in the mid 80's and finished in a tie for 27th place. Nelson finished at 254 (85-83-86) which was three shots off her total of 251 when she led the team at last year's MIAC Meet.

Senior Molly Zavadil came away with the lowest round of any Cobber at the tournament when she shot a 79 in the second round on Sunday. Zavadil had an opening round of 93 and then finished with an 88 to come away with a three-day total of 260 and placed in a tie for 34th place.

Tiffany Swanson, who entered the tournament as the hottest CC golfer, got off to a 90 on Day 1 but then rebounded to shoot 85 in the second round and then 87 on Monday. Her final total of 262 is 19 shots better than her previous conference best total of 281 which she fired in her freshman season in 2012.

Cobber freshman Erin Pennington earned low CC honors on Monday. She came home in 85 in the third round. Playing in her first conference meet, she finished with a total of 263 and tied for 39th place.
