On Tuesday, the Lady Trojans golf team played a nine-hole match against Valparaiso at Valparaiso Country Club.  With the windy and hot weather, the course was significantly more difficult than usual.  Valparaiso’s varsity team ended with a score of 179, defeating the Trojans, who ended the match with a score of 224, by 45 strokes. 

The team’s coach, Toby Gentry stated, “Overall, I am pleased with the team’s performance.  To drop 55 strokes from the first invitational to the last invitational is absolutely outstanding, I believe they have the ability to score much lower.”
