“I was pretty impressed on how our team did at Micke Grove,” said sophomore, Kassidy Isham. “We are a young team this year so taking third isn’t bad at all.” Isham shot a 114.

The girls coach, Eric Dambrosio was overall impressed with the girls’ performance at the tournament. “The girls played solid in the mid-year tournament. Emily Harris had a good round. We only lost second place by one stroke.”

“We are a young team and are gaining valuable experience and confidence. If each girl improves their short game and scoring average, it will be a successful season,” said Dambrosio.

Ripon will go on to play Linden on September 19.
