Senior Sabrina Ladd and sophomore Samantha Lorr followed with scores of 44 and 46 strokes, respectively. After Lorr, sophomore Annie Holland and team captain Caroline Ward shot a 48 and 52 for an overall solid performance on behalf of the Islanders. Unfortunately, Scripps Ranch took the match 225-196.
