Xavier Prep’s golf team reached an emotional conclusion to the home portion of its 2021 schedule at Phoenix Country Club on Wednesday (Sept. 29), defeating Phoenix Sandra Day O’Connor and Chandler High.
It was the last
home match for four seniors – Ava Mayberger, Kate Ryan, Audrey Sanchez and Ivy
Song. And it was fitting that a senior – Song – was the medalist with a 1-under
par 35. Those four and their teammates gathered as dusk was arriving for tears,
hugs, jokes and a slice of cake.
Xavier
finished with a team score of 163, with O’Connor at 187 and Chandler at 218.
The match
started a bit late after a water-pipe malfunction on the sixth hole forced the
golfers to abandon that hole and use 1,2,3,4,5,7,8 and 10.
“It was a
different day and we had our ups and downs, but we were able to come together
and get it done,’’ said Tui Selvaratnam, the team’s co-head coach along with
Sr. Lynn Winsor.
“It was
emotional, but good. For our seniors, it has been a great four years. They all
have developed into wonderful leaders.’’
After a win
over Tempe Corona del Sol on Tuesday (Sept. 28) at Phoenix Country Club, the
Gators came right back on Wednesday.
