Tourand takes MIAC title, Sievert All-MIAC! Todd Tourand (pictured at left; Sr., St. Cloud, Minn./Apollo HS), the lone senior on Augsburg's men's golf team, became the third Auggie in school history to win the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference individual championship when he claimed co-medalist honors at the 1998 MIAC meet. School history was also set on the women's golf side of the ledger, as Andrea Sievert (pictured at right, Sr., Lakefield, Minn./HL-O-L HS) became the first Auggie women's golfer to ever earn All-MIAC honors with a ninth-place finish at the MIAC women's meet.

Men's Golf
Augsburg College's men's golf program has made a steady rise to prominence in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference since coach Brian Ammann took over the reigns 11 years ago. That rise culiminated with three straight NCAA Division III national tournament appearances from 1995 to 1997. In 1995, Augsburg staked its claim in the MIAC by upsetting traditional power Gustavus Adolphus for the conference championship. After finishing second in the MIAC meet in 1996, the Auggies have finished third in the MIAC the last two seasons.

Augsburg has had three individual medalists in the MIAC championships -- Gary Thorvig (1970), Terry Brown (1981) and Todd Tourand (1998). In addition, 11 golfers have earned All-MIAC honors since 1980 -- Dale Womeldorf (1980), Tim Dietz (1980), Terry Brown (1981), Ben Erickson (1994, 1995), Troy Johnson (1994, 1995), Eric Rolland (1995, 1996), Todd Tourand (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998), Hans Anderson (1996), Josh Klimek (1996), Terry Ditlefsen (1997) and Mark LaBounty (1998).

On the national level, Eric Rolland earned the team's first All-America (third team) honors, when he finished 17th in the 1995 NCAA Division III national meet. Rolland finished 35th in the 1996 NCAA meet. Josh Klimek earned a unique honor for the Auggies in 1995, when he won the long-drive competition at the NCAA meet. He had a drive of 299.76 yards.

Women's Golf
Augsburg's women's golf program played under club status from 1990 to 1992. After a one-year break, the college added the sport to its varsity program in 1994, making it the eighth varsity women's sport at Augsburg. The team fielded its first entry in the MIAC fall tournament in 1997, finishing seventh.

Kristen Leighton, a former Minnesota Women's Golf Association state champion, was hired as the team's first coach, leading the team for two seasons before Deb Balzer took over the program in the spring of 1997. Amy Schwegman coached in the fall half of 1997 on an interim basis before David Staniger took the team's reigns in the spring half of 1998.

Augsburg has shown steady progress in a competitive MIAC women's golf league, with its best finish ever coming in the 1998 fall tournament, when Andrea Sievert became the first Auggie women's golfer to earn All-MIAC honors with a ninth-place finish in the conference meet. She finished her career holding nearly every school record for women's golf.
