Independence held off visiting Cardinal at Shawnee Hills Golf Course on Monday but the win didn’t come easily.
The Blue Devils edged the Huskies, 177-184, despite Cardinal shooting its lowest score of the season.
“Our top three scores were solid,” said Independence coach Mark Echstenkamper. “I still would like to see us in the 160s as a team. It was a good win for us. We will have to play better against Wickliffe on Wednesday.”
Carson Bianco led the Blue Devils with a 42 while Andrew Teribery and Ryan Zygmunt both finished with a 43. Sam Spacagna closed out the scoring with a 49.
“I’ll take a 42 but I am not satisfied with it,” Bianco said. “I could have played much better. I am pretty confident in my game right now, but there’s always room for improvement and more consistent play.”
Cardinal’s Virginia Travers won medalist honors with a match-low 41.
“Overall, I’m very happy with my score,” Travers said. “If I could change anything it would be the double I had on number eight. My driver was my friend. It set up all of my second shots very well.”
Jonathan Heredos carded a 42 for the Huskies while Anthony Sinito and Kevin Hammitt came in with a 49 and 52, respectively.
