CARRINGTON -- Don Groll said it was a result he never expected.
But, the Bowman County girls golf coach can't stop smiling about his team's finish at the Class B state tournament.
The Bulldogs finished third as a team after two strong days.
"We're really pleased where we finished," Groll said.
Paced by state championship medalist Laura Podolak's 83-72-155, Kindred won with a two-day score of 358-321-679. Hazen was runner-up at 363-353-716. The Bulldogs finished with 371-366-737.

"It was a good day for us and it was a good scoring day," Groll said. "There were some pretty good scores for the gals."
Mariah Lockert finished in a tie for 17th after shooting 89 both days to finish with a 178. Kayla Palzcewski had a 94-92-186, Karly Palczewski added a 101-91-192 and Jessica Hill rounded out the Bulldogs' scoring at 88-100-188.
Heart River's two golfers had solid finishes, too.
Mary Hlebechuk shot a 89-90-179 and Jada Mattson, a freshman, had an 11-stroke improvement from Tuesday to Wednesday to finish 96-85-181.
"She's got three more really good years ahead of her," Heart River coach Kirby Robb said. "She jumped a big hurdle today and started believing in herself."
Jinny Miller led Hazen with a fourth-place finish at 83-84-167.
