Natalie Ketchen had a great round tonight! Most of the varsity team improved considerably from the two rounds they played on April 20 at the Benton Tournamen. Mara Jessen bounced back from disappointing rounds Saturday to shoot a strong 47. Our two varsity freshmen, Lauren Tandy and Kaiti Kilpatrick are showing great promise and helping our team to stay competitive.
