At the West Delaware invitation, on April 26, the girls beat Clear Creek-Amana and Vinton-Shellsburg. 

“I’ve been very impressed on how the girls have improved during practice,” coach Brett Mather said. “The results are showing they’ve got a great work ethic and continue to have fun with the game of golf.” 

They play again tonight at 4 p.m. at Pin Oak Pub & Links golf course against Solon.
