(Creston) Atlantic captured the Hawkeye Ten Conference Girl’s Golf Tournament Title by a tie-breaker over Creston on Monday at the Crestomoor Golf Course in Creston. Both teams shot 429.
“It’s been a while since we won a conference tournament championship and we’re glad to take the title back to Atlantic,” said Atlantic Head Coach Kathy Hobson. “I was telling a couple of the girl’s the last time we played here we tied, and lost the tie-breaker that year. I am excited for the girls.”
Creston senior Maria Groumoutis won the individual title with a 46-46-(92). “My round was all over the place today, and I was getting a little scared, but I told myself every hole is a new hole, and forgot about my bad holes, and focused on the one at hand.”
Atlantic was led by a 4th place finish from Belle Berg with a 98. Abby Smith shot 106 to place 9th. Other Atlantic scores included Lexi Noelck 112, Reagan Leonard 113, Abby Muller 120, and Nissa Molgaard 123.
