"Great finish to the year. All 16 of our players today showed a lot of character playing in some of the toughest conditions they will see as a golfer. A huge shout-out to our seniors who finished their Carthage careers today: Alina Brindza, Abigail Bocock, and Annika Erickson. Lexi Manteufel led the team with an 84, which was probably like shooting 75 in normal conditions. Great way to end the spring for our varsity and seniors. Good rounds from McKenna Sosnowski and Maddie Midgett as they look to be big contributors when we come back in the fall."
