DeKALB — Junior golfer Caroline Klemp made a huge splash in her Huskie debut. She finished first, winning the individual title on Monday with a score of three under par 69. Klemp’s efforts helped NIU finished sixth at the Redbird Invitational in Normal, Illinois.
Klemp originally attended University of Missouri – Kansas City, but transferred to Northern Illinois University over the summer after Kansas City had announced plans to eliminate their women's golf team.
Klemp’s talents are appreciated as Head Coach Kim Kester said she is proud of her golfer.
"For Caroline to come in after seeing her program [at Kansas City] cut and win the tournament was exciting for us,” Kester said to NIU Athletics.
