Kirtland took another giant step toward winning the Chagrin Valley Conference title with its 165-194 win over visiting Berkshire at Fowlers Mill Golf Course on Monday.
The Hornets remained undefeated in league play thanks to solid performances from Michael Schnur, who won medalist honors with a 36, Adam Mueller and Jack Dever, who both carded a 41, and Isabel Anness, who came in with a 48.
“It’s important that we keep playing well because we’ve come up short of the CVC title the past few years and we know that we can get it this year,” Mueller said.
Schnur is well on his way to a fourth straight league MVP award but his teammates are hot on his heels.
The intra-squad competition has helped each golfer to elevate his play in preparation for the Division II postseason tournaments.
“I’m not too happy with how I’ve been playing,” Mueller said. “I know that I am capable of playing much better. I just need to keep myself focused during each round. I’m confident I can get my game together down the stretch.”
The Hornets improved to 6-1 overall in match play.
Forrest Kuchling led the Badgers with a 39.
