For the women, Merete Myrseth, also making her collegiate debut after illness last weekend, placed fourth with Guro Jordheim earning her second top five finish of the year with a fifth-place run. Natalia Müeller finished 15th as Utah's third scorer while Leah Lange was 18th. Anna-Lena Heynen finished 36th with Josefin Nilsson 42nd.
Utah stands third at the MSU Invite with 448.5 points, trailing Colorado (504) and Denver (452). Montana State stands fourth (374.5) with New Mexico fifth (334).
In alpine, Julie Mohagen was Utah's top skier on a day where the Utes struggled. Mohagen finished eighth in the women's slalom for her second top-10 finish of the year. Chloe Fausa placed 16th while Abby Ghent was 25th with Lauren Samuels 29th. Roni Remme and Sabine Krautgasser did not finish.
