The Alexandria Girls Golf Team is headed to State! After the first day of competition, the Cardinals trailed Brainerd by 7 shots and were tied with Detroit Lakes. Both of these teams, along with the Cardinals, are top 10 teams in the state rankings. The Cardinals made a statement very early in the round on the second day. The lady Cards made up the 7 shot deficit after the first 2 holes, and were 2-under par as a team through the first 5 holes. “We encountered a few missteps along the way, but rode the momentum to the finish line,” said Head Coach Tim Zupfer. “In the end, the team posted a 2-day team score that was 14 shots better than Brainerd's.”
All 6 of their players posted scores that were lower than their score on the first day. “We were the only team to have all 6 players shoot 90 or better the 2nd day,” noted Coach Zupfer. “We were also the only team to have 4 players finish in the top 10. Our 2nd day team score was also 27 shots better than the first day. Individually, we had 3 scores in the 70's on day 2. Hannah Boraas made up a 7-shot deficit to finish as the Section Medalist.”
