Florence, SC – The Atlantic Collegiate Academy girls golf team made a trip to Florence Country Club on Tuesday to play a nine-hole match against the teams from Trinity Collegiate and Laurence Manning High.
The Armada took care of business, posting a team score of 171 to easily defeat both opponents. Trinity finished the match with a score of 188 while Manning posted a 201.
"Our girls went in there focused and their play proved it," ACA golf coach
Bailey Paske said. "We played better by 15 shots than we did in our last match, and I couldn't be prouder."
The Armada was led by senior
Hannah Lowery, who posted the low score of the day with a one-over par 36.
In addition to Lowery, sophomore
Clara Beth Brady posted a score of 41, freshman Bella Stroup had a 45 and senior
