The Indians opened the week with a home split, falling to Crestwood, 164-187, Monday, April 25 before defeating Prairie du Chien, WI, 181-203, Tuesday, April 26. The bittersweet week continued as the golf Tribe wrapped up its week shooting a season-best team total but still fell by a 164-176 home result against New Hampton Friday, April 29 to remain winless against Northeast Iowa Conference foes.
