XCP golf, badminton post victories

Junior Mary Beth Doss earned medalist honors for the first time this season and Xavier Prep’s golf team rolled to a 33-shot victory over Phoenix Horizon on Tuesday (Sept. 17) at Phoenix Country Club. The match had been moved due to a scheduling conflict later in the season.

Doss shot an even-par 36 for nine holes. The rest of the top five were freshman Annie Dawson at 1-over 37, senior Ashley Menne at 2-over 38, senior Breyana Matthews at 3-over 39 and sophomore Ivy Song at 5-over 41.

Other Gator scores were:

Sophomore Ava Mayberger at 11-over 47, senior Danae Bravo at 14-over 50, sophomore Kate Ryan at 16-over 52, sophomore Audrey Sanchez at 17-over 53 and freshman Sophie Stamatis at 23-over 59.

Next up for Xavier is the Aguila Invitational on Friday (Sept. 20) and Saturday (Sept. 21) at the Aguila Golf Course in Laveen.
