Senior Marisa Toivonen ended with an 83, seventh-grader Stephanie Herzog and ninth-grader Reagan Haley both had an 89, junior Maddie Flack shot a 92 and ninth-grader Kayla Oberding contributed a 97.

“I was really pleased with the way the girls played,” Red Wing head coach Mark Herzog said. “We’ve had a busy week but we’ve really played well through the three days. Now, we have some things to work on.”

Sarah Burnham, of Wayzata, shot a course-low 69.
