The Blackhawks had a score of 471.

Kaylani Kim shot 98, Anabia Khankashi 86, Leah Field 101, Alanah MacMillan 83, Kendall Brisette 103, and Marlee Gallego 124.

“I’m tickled to death,” Citrus Valley coach Stephen Howard said. “I got here in 2021 and we had two girls on the team."

Howard is from Augusta, Georgia – home of The Masters golf tournament. He came to Redlands when his wife got a job at ESRI.

Assistant coach James Hamlin was also invaluable, Howard said.
