“We were so excited that Elliott was able to earn the team’s first conference points at Thursday’s match,” said coach Megan Bitney.

“We are into our final push this week, playing varsity at Winter’s Barker Lake and then on to conference on Thursday, playing Big Fish in Hayward,” said Bitney. “It will be a new challenge for all golfers, playing 18 holes at a high-level course, but what an experience for our golfers.”
