The University of Minnesota Duluth won its second team title in as many meets this season on Saturday morning as the Bulldogs placed first at the Augsburg University Invitational in Bloomington, Minn.

Fellow rookie Alexandra Robran was next in 11th place (24:46.4) while sophomore Gabriella Brinkley (25:06.1) and junior Elizabeth Kyes (25:20.2) took 18th and 23rd, respectively.
