The South O’Brien Girls Golf Team faced West Sioux for a War Eagle Conference dual on May 6 at Primghar Golf & Country Club. South O’Brien took the win 229-244. It was the last home dual of the season and the third meet in four days. “Although our team score was 11 strokes above our average, it was good to get the win,” commented South O’Brien coach Kris Faust.
Senior Breana Bottjen matched her personal best with a 51, which was good for runner-up medalist. “Breana continues to show consistency and focus in her first year playing competitively,” said Faust. Senior Kaeley Einck earned the third place medal with a 55. Sophomore Whitney Einck shot a 61, which put her in fifth place, and sophomore Samantha Wilbur placed sixth with a 62.
The Wolverines continue to battle night after night and come away with wins. They are 5-3 in conference duals and sit in fourth place in the WEC. The Wolverines competed in the War Eagle Conference Meet May 11. Post-season play begins on Monday, May 17, on their home course in Primghar.
Said Faust, “I am really proud of the girls coming out night after night to play. With only four girls on the team, we need all four girls to play well at every meet if we are going to win. We’re glad we get to play on our home course for Regionals on Monday, May 17. It’s a huge advantage.”
