Lady Warriors Keep Rolling

By John Severance

The Socorro girls golf team shot a 364, easily winning by 27 strokes at the Bernalillo Invitational Monday at the Santa Ana Couse and earning its second leg at state.
The Lady Warriors took the top three spots individually as Kristen Cline was the medalist, shooting an 80. Shania Berger was second with an 83 and Brittani Webb was third at 84. Theresa Chavez rounded out the team score with a 117.
“Pin placements and speed of the greens were very tough,” Socorro coach Margaret Stanley said. “The top three girls hit the ball well. We will be working on the short game the rest of the week getting ready for the Seery Tourney on Monday. Each of the top three girls earned another individual leg for state.”
Stanley also explained the state qualifying system.
“In our state qualifying system, teams have to earn three qualifying scores during the season,” Stanley said. “This means that a target score is set at every tournament and a team has to meet it or beat it. A team can also qualify for state by being the district champ. Individuals can also earn legs by meeting or beating the individual score at a tourney. They also have to earn three legs to go to state.”
The Seery Tournament will be held Monday at the New Mexico Tech Course. Teams competing in the tournament include St. Michael’s, Robertson, Ruidoso, Bosque, Valencia, Tohajiilee, and Belen.
