GALESBURG — Olivia Seei shot a pair of rounds in the 80s to lead the Sandburg women's golf team at the Augustana Highland Classic on Sunday and Monday at Highland Springs.

Seei opened with a 12-over-par 84 and added an 85 in Monday's final round to tie for 25th overall. The freshman from Geneseo carded birdies Monday at the par-5 second and par-4 seventh holes.
