Bozeman, MT – Newcomer Maddie Dustin set a pretty high bar in her first event as a Portland State Viking on Monday, shooting even par 72-72=144 through the first 36 holes of the Yellowstone Intercollegiate Golf Tournament. Dustin, a sophomore transfer, scattered seven birdies over her two rounds and is tied for 11th place with one round remaining at Riverside Country Club.
