The Eagles finished the tournament with a score of 1017. That score was just two strokes behind second place Park but 39 strokes behind champion William Penn. William Penn finished at 978.

Central sophomore Cassandra Contreras, last year’s Heart Golfer of the Year, added to her trophy case by being named the golfer of the year again this season. Contreras was also named to the Heart All-Conference team. The defending Heart champion finished tied for ninth with a total score of 250 after a misunderstanding of the rules gave her a score of 93 on the first round. (See full story on page 8. )
