GIRLS GOLF REGIONALS THIS SATURDAY

Six defending regional champions from a year ago have advanced to this year’s regional round of the 34th Annual IHSAA Girls Golf State Tournament Series. Eighteen-hole action is scheduled for seven courses around the state this Saturday, Sept. 23, with the top three teams at each site, along with the top three individuals (including ties for third place) not with an advancing team earning a spot in next week’s state finals.

 

Last weekend, the top two ranked teams in the state coaches poll, No. 1 Hamilton Southeastern and No. 2 Martinsville, each carded a state-best 302. Hamilton Southeastern won the sectional title at Bent Tree in Westfield, while Martinsville won its fourth consecutive championship and 20th overall at Cascades in Bloomington.

 

The sectional at Bent Tree, hosted by Brebeuf Jesuit, produced three of the top four sectional scores in the state. Placing second to Hamilton Southeastern was No. 5 Noblesville at 310 and No. 3 Brebeuf at 312. Those three teams will be among the nine battling for team honors at Westwood Country Club in New Castle this Saturday.

 

Six individuals shot 72 or better led by sophomore Autumn Duke of Hamilton Southeastern who’s 68 at Bent Tree topped all. She was followed by Brebeuf senior Aimee Neff and senior Kristen Harrington of Harrison (West Lafayette) who shot a 69 at Bent Tree and Lafayette Municipal, respectively. Lina Pasquali’s 70 at Noble Hawk in Kendallville earned medalist honors for the senior while 72 was the winning score for Seymour junior Jessica Collins at Shadowood and Boonville senior Maggie Wood at Fendrich.

 

Also of note was Twin Lakes which won its ninth consecutive sectional crown at Logansport’s Dykeman Park, the state’s longest active string in the sport. Evansville Memorial, Greensburg and Valparaiso also extended their streaks to seven straight years.

 

Floyd Central, Pendleton Heights, Plymouth and Union County each won their first sectional championship in girls golf.

 

Barring any weather delays, results from each regional site will be posted to the IHSAA website as they become available from the hosts. Also, pairings and tee-times for the state finals are scheduled to be available Monday morning as long as play is completed at all seven courses.
