Danielle Tinsley had a great to tourney by firing a 237 (75-84-78) to finish 16th out of 45 golfers for Coach Patrick Davis. Not only did she set a new three-round program record, she also broke the lowest 18-hole score when she carded a 75 in her first round.

Abby Sheehan was a picture of consistency for Huntington to finish with a 262 (87-88-87) for 38th place. Lauren Slottke turned in a 280 (101-89-90) while Lexy Turpchinoff (96-92-98) and Katie Springer (103-90-99) rounded out Huntington’s scores with a 286 and 292 respectively.

“I am happy we improved from last year’s conference scores and continue improving as a team,” said Coach Davis. “We’ve played smarter with every tournament this spring. Each player has had challenges to overcome, and they all did that this week at conference.

“Danielle continues to lead us, and that’s evident based on the program records she set this week. I am excited for next year as our young core of players continues to improve their game. I’m proud of our senior Kate who has been in our top five all four years. She has been a great player for us, but more importantly a great teammate and a four-year academic honor roll student.”
