Championships notes: After winning three of the four Division II/III Women's Golf Championships, Methodist will look to defend its throne in a first Division III Women's Golf Championships. The Monarchs returned nine of 12 players from the 1999 squad, but they lost their top three scorers from last year's title run. Concordia-Moorhead ranks second in the polls as of early April, and it returns three of its top five scorers from last year's sixth-place finish at the championship, which was third among Division III schools.
