The Dos Pueblos girls golf team began their season with a loss by one stroke to Righetti on Thursday. The Chargers shot 268 as a team while the Warriors shot 267.

Sagarika Manian led the way for Dos Pueblos, finishing with a score of 42. Victoria Chen was right behind Manian, shooting a 43.

Other notable performances came from Angelia Pagliaro, who ended at 59, while Sofia Elena Lara and Charis Dreesmann each scored a 62 on the day.

Leading the charge for Righetti was Jena Arguijo (47) and Ari Martinez (49).

“It’s always tough to lose by one stroke as hindsight is always 20/20 and after the round it is easy to come up with one stroke here or there we each could have picked up to win the match,” Chargers coach Dan Choi said.

“I was proud of the girls however as we spent a little time licking our wounds and then immediately started focusing on what we can do to be better in our next match.”

That next match will come at Lompoc next Wednesday.
