Chelsey Battle finished second for the Tigers with a 106, followed by Paige Brick (108), Mady Dahl (116), Makenna Friehl (117) and Sydney Overgaard (121). The team’s No. 2 golfer, Morgan Field, did not play which hurt the team’s score, according to Riebe.

The Tigers shot 422, and Eden Prairie won the invite with a 314.

“I was proud of the way our girls handled themselves today,” Riebe said.

The Tigers golf again at 2:30 p.m. Friday against Austin and Rochester Century at the Austin Country Club.
