(Erin lost in a card back.)

We were very excited and pleased to bring home the metal, a Tournament trophy, tonight. The girls’ scores were “four in the forties” again and it paid off! Our two freshmen, Lauren and Kaiti, are improving and strengthening our team efforts. V-S putted better today than Saturday.

This is Erin’s best round on the Manchester course over four years participation in this annual tourney. All of the girls have been playing outside of scheduled practice times and these additional efforts are reaping benefits. Their record is now 19 – 1.

V-S scores:

Erin Randall 42

Mara Jessen 46

Natalie Ketchen 48

Cara Hach 49

Lauren Tandy 51

Kaiti Kilpatrick 57

The Vikettes host a quadrangular at the Vinton Country Club this Friday night with Williamsburg, West Delaware and Independence. They will travel to Columbus for WAMAC West Divisional play on Monday, April 29 at South Hills, Waterloo.
