Minnesota entered the last day of its NCAA regional within striking distance of capturing fifth place and punching its ticket to the next round.
But Sunday’s play knocked it back to a ninth-place regional finish.
“I think we found that we were right amongst the best of the best,” head coach John Carlson said. “Today, unfortunately, we just didn’t convert on as many opportunities as we needed to.”
The team finished Friday’s play tied for sixth, but Carlson said his team didn’t hit very good iron shots Saturday.
