“We had three different weather delays because of lightning, so it was an interesting golf meet,” Tigers coach Shawn Riebe said. “The girls handled it really well and posted a nice round.”

Maddy Carstens shot a 42; Emma Loch and Natalie Nafzger each shot 45; and Lexie Simon rounded out the scores with a 47 for Albert Lea.

“We keep getting closer to reaching our potential each week,” Riebe said. “This team has the ability to go far this season, we just have to put it together on the same day.”

Postseason play will begin on Monday.
