GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – Chadron State finished firmly in third place as a team while Macy Kleve and Klara Kleinig finished inside the top 10 as the Maverick Challenge concluded on Sunday in Grand Junction. 

The Eagles shot 44-over as a unit after shooting 40-over on Saturday. Chadron State finished with a 36-hole score of 660 and were largely in a league of their own on that leaderboard. Westminster took home the team title at 636, just three strokes ahead of hosts Colorado Mesa, but Chadron State was over 100 strokes ahead of fourth-place Adams State. 

Kleve, a Windsor, Colorado native, shot a sparkling 76 on Sunday. That gave the freshman a two-day score of 16-over 160, in a two-way tie for sixth place out of a 28-golfer field.

Kleve's score of 4-over-par was tied for the third-lowest score of the entire field while her seven spots climbed on the leaderboard was the second-most spots gained in the tournament from day one to day two. 

Kleve birdied the par-5 No. 5, par-5 No. 10 and par-4 No. 16, which was her final hole of the day after starting on No. 17. Kleve shot 1-over 38 on the back nine in the second round. 

Klara Kleinig also rose up the leaderboard, with a 9-over 81 on Sunday an improvement over a round-one 84. Kleinig's 36-hole score of 165 was good enough to tie for 10^th, and the CSC sophomore also ended with a birdie on her final hole of the day, No. 15.

Unfortunately, the two golfers who tied for CSC's best round of Saturday couldn't put together an equal second round. Sophomore Allison Sanger and freshman Lauren Knapp each shot 80 in round one, but Sanger finished at 86 while Knapp carded an 89 on Sunday. They finished 12^th and tied for 14^th, respectively, in the standings. 

CSC's two seniors, Aubree Heinsma and Payton Wise, finished back-to-back in 21^st and 22^nd. Heinsma ended up at 39-over 183 across two days while Wise was three strokes behind at 42-over 186. 

Westminster's Ashley Lam, the 22^nd-ranked golfer in the nation and the top-ranked RMAC golfer, took home individual medalist honors at 7-over 151. She won by two strokes over teammate Remi Rawlings. 

Chadron State will have two individual golfers, Brooklyn Tychsen and Taegan Bach, competing at a tournament early next week in Rapid City, but the Eagles will not be entered as a team. CSC's next official competition will be the RMAC Outdoor Championships from Sunday, April 19 through Tuesday, April 21.
