Other key trojan scores were from sophomore Alyssa Ginther who placed seventh with a 93. Senior Sarah Fixmer placed 17th with a 99 as well. Two other trojans rounded out the top 20 with scores of 101.

Coach Kathy Hobson said the greens were very large and had a lot of slope. She said another factor was the course had a lot of elevation that the girls had not played on yet. Hobson and the girls thought that this was the toughest they had seen all year.
