The ongoing back-and-forth between the Westfield and Zionsville girls golf teams continued Monday at the Hoosier Crossroads Conference meet, which took place at Bear Slide Golf Course.
The No. 2-ranked Eagles won the meet with a team score of 306, narrowly beating out the No. 1 Shamrocks, who scored 308. Both teams wound up with three players on the All-Conference team, as did third-place Hamilton Southeastern.
Cailyn Henderson led Westfield with an even-par 71 to mark the county’s first entry on the All-Conference list. Also making All-HCC were Jocelyn Bruch with a 73 and Adrienne Montalone, who scored a 79.
“Congrats to Zionsville they played really good golf on the back nine today to flip it around on us,” said Shamrocks coach Trevor Neu. “I couldn’t be prouder of our seniors and what this group has accomplished in four years to be runner up twice and champions twice is quite of an accomplishment.”
“For us to shoot a 308 today and get nipped by Zionsville just shows how good golf is in our conference and state and how important it is to have four consistent scores each time out,” said Neu.
The Royals’ three All-Conference players were Haleigh Gray, who shot 74, and Chelsea Morrow and Julia Eaton, both of whom posted 79s.
Fishers finished fourth as a team and had two All-Conference golfers. Anna DelPrince carded a 77 and Morgan Lewis scored 80.
Noblesville was led by Sarah Hayes and Brooke Gigante, both of whom posted 87s.
