The Santa Ynez girls golf team managed a tight win Thursday against a Nipomo High team that gave them all they had.
Nipomo’s Brook Cuzick shot a stellar 39 on the 9 hole, par-35 Monarch Dunes Golf Course to take home medalist honors. Unfortunately, her team couldn’t complete the win.
Santa Ynez played consistently, with each golfer shooting below a 60. Alex Sczudlo and Gracie Church both shot a 49 for the Pirates best rounds.
“Gracie tied her personal best, and Alex set a new personal best today,” said Santa Ynez coach Ashley Coelho. “It was great to play the back 9 at Monarch because it is very challenging and really pushed the girls to fight for every stroke.”
Santa Ynez improved to 4-3 on the season and 2-0 in league play and next faces Santa Maria, Tuesday at the Santa Maria Country Club.
