A Steady Improvement...While the Dragons braved rain and wind throughout the first round of the Tracy Lane Memorial, they would rally back on day two. Moorhead saw a 10-stroke improvement across the rounds, carding a cumulative 363. Three of MSUM's four scoring players improved their individual scores from Monday's round as well. Steady Start...Sophomore Adi Houkom led the way for the Dragons in 36 holes in Bemidji. Houkom finished 12th overall on the individual leaderboard after a second-round 84. The West Fargo, N.D., native improved by three strokes from day one and carded seven pars and a birdie. Houkom had a string of four straight even holes to open the back nine. Houkom would pencil in a birdie on the par-four sixth hole that amassed 392 yards.She's The Miller...Fellow sophomore Sydney Miller also saw a strong improvement in round two of the Tracy Lane Memorial. Miller shot an overall 82 to trim nine strokes from her Monday total. The Detroit Lakes, Minn., native featured nine pars and a birdie in her round. Miller had a tremendous showing at the turn, earning either a par or birdie on five straight holes. She earned her birdie on the par-five 10th hole at Bemidji Town &amp; Country Club, which spanned 445 yards. Miller would finish 14th individually at the tournament.The Course...The Jewel Invitational will be contested at the The Jewel Golf Club in Lake City, Minn. The Jewel is a par-71 course with an overall yardage (black tees) of 7,050. The front nine at The Jewel is a par-36 and features five par-fours, two par-fives and a pair of par-three holes. On the back nine, the course has six par-fours, two par-threes and a par-five hole for an overall par of 35. Moorhead has historically been successful at The Jewel, holding a 706.6 team average (36 holes) in the last three tournaments at the course. Most notably, former Dragon (and current assistant coach) Halle Balluff registered new program records for 18 (75) and 36-hole (151) low rounds at The Jewel in September 2023. Preseason Buzz...Minnesota State Moorhead was selected to finish 11th in the NSIC preseason coaches' index while transfer Sydney Miller was noted as the Dragon 'player to watch'. Moorhead earned their position in the poll thanks to 47 points. Wayne State topped the rankings with 178 points and 11 first-place votes. Minnesota State would earn the other three first-place nods, finishing second in the poll. At last season's NSIC Championships, MSUM finished in 12th place with a school record 54-hole score of 1066. At the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, Moorhead had finished the year with a school record season stroke average of 355.1. Coach Speak..."I'm thrilled to get rolling with this group. The team set many program records the past two seasons and I'm eager to get working with them. They are a great group of ladies who are fun to work with," said head coach Brock Ellingson, who enters his fourth season this fall. "They impress me every day and we are excited to compete as a team. Resilience is our motto for the 2026-2027 campaign, Roll Drags!"</div></body>
