Emily Snelling captured medalist
honors, but Newman Catholic picked
up the team win in a match played
Tuesday, April 19, at Veteran’s Memo-
rial in Clear Lake, 185-188.
“The difference of our first two
meets has been a combined four
strokes, and so this match was a great
indication to the girls that no matter
if we are having a great round or a bad
round that every stroke matters, be-
the difference of a match,” said Coach
Adam Brinkman.
Snelling was the medalist with a
score of 38. Other counting scores for
CLHS included Ashley DeLong’s 41,
Jordyn Barragy 53, and Mattie Krause

Emily Snelling was medalist with
a score of 40. Other scores for the Li- New Hampton tournament
ons were provided by Ashley DeLong
(45), Jordyn Barragy (48) and Erin
Carew (58).
“I thought overall we did some
goods things. Ashley was hitting the
ball well; she may not hit it as far as nament. Clear Lake was the winner
some other girls, but she is one of the
most consistent golfers that I have
seen,” said Coach Brinkman. “Jor-
