"I am really excited for Grace and Laura. They both just went back and forth hitting very great shots and making big putts," coach Debbie Williams-Hoak said.

Shelby Dahms and Jordan Wickham shot a 77 to finish 9th and Grace Warren and Sophie Elston shot 98 to finish 29th.

"It was such a great start for the girls. The weather was beautiful and there were so many highlights," Williams-Hoak said. "This was such a positive experience for all the girls and one of our seven Freshmen Sophie Elston played in her first varsity tournament."
