SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Senior siblings Nathan Anderson and Amy Anderson won individual titles and the North Dakota State men's and women's golf teams swept the Jackrabbit Fall Invitational on Monday, Oct. 1, at Minnehaha Country Club.

Nathan shot an even-par 70 in the final round to finish at 2-over 212 and won by one stroke over South Dakota State's Hudson Carpenter.  Amy shot a 4-over 75 in the final round and finished at 3-over 216 to win by 10 shots over South Dakota State's Morgan Fitts.
