Stella Ashamalla scored a clutch season-best 41 to help San Marcos edge Buena 224 to 229 to stay undefeated in Channel League play at Olivas Links Tuesday.
Buena’s Meg Hampton scored a 38 to take medalist honors.
“Today’s win was really a whole-team effort,” San Marcos coach Sarah Ashton said. “We knew Buena was going to be hard to beat on their home course, so we had to bring our best effort.
“Evelina Erickson and Riley O’Brien have been steady for us all season, and we relied on them again today.”
The win sets up a season-ending showdown Thursday against Dos Pueblos — also undefeated in Channel League play — at La Cumbre Country Club on Thursday.
