The Mason girls’ golf team ended their season on Saturday right where they had hoped…as Division I State Champions and winning back-to-back state titles. The Comets put recent tournament disappointments behind them topping GMC rival Lakota West by 9 stokes carding a 316 team score. St. Ursula finished third overall one stroke behind the Firebirds.
“We battled Lakota West all year, and we also knew that a very talented St. Ursula team would be a formidable opponent,” said head coach Fred Reeder. “I'm just so proud that the girls fought through all the adversity and proved they are indeed the best team in the state yet again.”
Three of Mason’s top golfers from last year repeated their performance this year. Junior Emily Wright shot a team-best 76, while junior Erin Michel and junior Jessica Zhang both shot 78. Other Mason scores included senior Chelsea Sturtevant with an 84 and senior Deanna Mychalishyn scoring an 87.
For the second time in state history the tournament was reduced to 18 holes after the first day of play was cancelled due to rain. The last time the tournament featured only one round was in 1996. Although still cold, the rain held off Saturday allowing golfers to finish the 40th annual event played at the Ohio State University Gray Golf Course.
“They exceeded my expectations with their play in the state tournament, and as a coach, no matter how the match or tournament turns out, that means everything,” said Reeder. The Comets will look to “Three-Peat” in 2010 with a tested and talented group of underclassman returning.
