OSKALOOSA — The weather wasn’t great, and the conditions on the golf course were not ideal, but the Prairie City-Monroe girls golf team opened the new season with a road win over Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Tuesday at Harvest Point Golf Course.
The Mustangs, led by senior Breanna Maher, shot a 210 and defeated the Rockets by 35 strokes.
“We didn’t play very well for our first meet,” PCM coach Val Edwards said. “The course was very wet and the weather cooperated with us, but stayed cloudy and very cool.”
Maher won medalist honors with a 10-over-par 45. Next in line for the Mustangs were Sabrina Reed and Mack Bussan, who both carded 54s.
Madeline Mitchell was the fourth counting score with a 57.
PCM’s varsity lineup also included non-counting scores of 61 by Ellie Steenhoek and 63 by Lexi Reed.
The Mustangs play at home for the first time this season against Pleasantville at 4 p.m. Monday at Gateway Recreation Golf Course in Monroe.
