Des Moines Lincoln edges C-M girls in non-conference contest

COLFAX — Charlotte Donahue lost her ball on the very first hole of the Tigerhawks’ head-to-head dual against Des Moines Lincoln.

That didn’t stop the Colfax-Mingo senior from earning medalist honors at the par 36 Colfax Country Club on April 29.

Donahue shot a 54 and sophomore teammate Lily Brenner was the runner-up with a 57, but the C-M girls golf team lost to the Railsplitters by a single stroke.

Des Moines Lincoln drove home with a victory after shooting a 245. The visitors put three in the top five and five in the first nine positions.

Colfax-Mingo carded a 246 after placing its other three golfers in the 6-8-10 spots on the leaderboard.

Lillie Jones was sixth overall with a 64, while Emily Dyer had the final counting score with a 71. Chloe Clements turned in a non-counting 79.
