COLLEGE WOMEN'S RANKINGS VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED FROM NOVEMBER

Through no fault of her own, Samantha Sommers is down two places in the latest batch of Golfweek/Sagarin rankings for NCAA Division I women's golf.

Sommers and the University of Minnesota team haven't played in nearly three months, and she was No. 369 among the more than 1,500 Division I women golfers who were listed at the end of the fall portion of the schedule. But the Gopher freshman -- and three-time state high school champion -- from St. Cloud Apollo is No. 371 in the current rankings.

Basically, though, the new rankings, which are dated Feb. 10, are unchanged from the end of the fall.

Olivia Lansing, a Drake sophomore from Mounds Park Academy, is second among players with Minnesota connections, at 404. Lansing and her team are playing this week, at the Baja Invitational, but those results won't be reflected in the rankings until next week.
