Anderson earned its first tournament title since winning the Hanover Invitational in September, 2006.
The Anderson 'B' Team took sixth with a team score of 412 (+128).
Addy Gick locked up second place in her collegiate debut to earn all-tournament honors. She carded a round of 81 on the par-71 layout at Maple Grove Golf Course.
COACH MORGAN DOUGLASS'S COMMENTS
I'm so proud of the girls! It was a beautiful day to get out and golf and what better way to start out the season than with a win? I'm pumped for what's next!
ADDY GICK'S COMMENTS
I tried going in with a positive attitude. Since it [was] my birthday, I was just trying to go out there, have fun and not worry about it. I actually didn't have any nerves, even though I'm always nervous [at meets]. I went out there, had fun and tried to play well.
