They won by five strokes ahead of Campbell County. Sequel Lozier tied for second in the tournament which was two shots behind first place. The Lady Tigers didn’t have a full team to score with only two golfers for the Lander. Keigann Watson tied for eighth and Morgan Hill finished 14th individually.
