COSTA MESA – Low scores were available for the taking on Monday under warm and breezy conditions at Costa Mesa Country Club's Mesa Linda Course as the top women's golfers from around the Orange Empire Conference went at for their third matchup of the season.
In the end, it was the Saddleback College Bobcats who showed their depth of talent to once again top the field with a team score of 321, a full 20 shots ahead of runner-up and host, Orange Coast College (341). Close behind was Fullerton College (349), followed by Mt. San Jacinto (357), College of the Desert (360), Mt. San Antonio (374) and Cuyamaca (394).
The undefeated Bobcats (18-0) showed off their depth for the third straight week with all six golfers within the top 18 scores of the afternoon. Nicole Whipple and Sabrina Ladd led the way for the Bobcats, each shooting 78s, while Caitlin Randolph fired an 82, with teammates Kenzie Edson (83), Karissa Flores (85) and Lia Harvey (85) close behind.
Low score of the day went to Mt. San Antonio's Kayla Loera, who conquered the classic course and carded a 1-over-par, 71, while OCC's Meah Collins continued her fine play for 2022 after shooting a 75 on her home track. COD's Demi Preece and Fullerton's Catherine Lee each shot a 76 to cap off the sub-80 scores for the afternoon.
The same teams will go at it once again on Wednesday at Saddleback's home course, Arroyo Trabuco, beginning at 12 p.m.
