Saint Mary's golf team took second in a league tournament on Wednesday.
Following Albion College's low score of 356, the Belles' overall total was 370. Hope College followed with a total of 378 while Kalamazoo came in fourth.
Coach Theresa Pekarek was pleased with the results.
"It was a difficult course and our scores were low today," Pekarek said. "We proved that we could finish first in the future. We can definitely play better."
Team captain and senior Kyle Veltri placed fourth overall in the tournament with 87, the lowest Saint Mary's score. Junior Mary Clare Hathaway followed Veltri with a 92. Veltri was pleased to see the team reach second place.
"I was very pleased to see where we were standing as a team," Veltri said. "I feel it's been a consistent season. "We set goals as a team at the beginning of the season and we are where we want to be at second in the conference."
Both Pekarek and Veltri look forward to Saturday's tournament at Winding Creek Golf Course.
"Winding Creek Golf Course is fairly simple considering weather conditions," Veltri said. "I'm pretty sure everyone will play well and maintain standings.
"I think that we will do well. We had never seen the Medalis where we played today. We are familiar with Winding Creek, and I expect we'll do as well. Hopefully, we will finish first."
