With a senior-laden roster, Chagrin Falls’ girls’ golf team has its sights set on defending its Chagrin Valley Conference championship.
The Tigers also hope to extend their season deep into the postseason.
“With a deep roster of solid talent, we are very excited about the season,” Chagrin Falls coach Kristin Reboul said. “It is our goal to win our division of the Chagrin Valley Conference and play deep into the postseason. To achieve our goals, we will continue working hard on skill development and focus on one match at a time.”
Chagrin Falls closed out the 2018 season with a 12-4 record in dual matches, which included a perfect 7-0 mark in conference play.
The Tigers went on to place fourth at the Division I sectional tournament and 16th at districts.
After a second-place finish at the league’s preseason tournament on Aug. 5, the Tigers have some work to do in order to win back-to-back league titles.
Junior Chloe Steger finished fifth with an 88 at the CVC preseason tournament. She averaged 55 strokes per nine-hole round last season and is off to a fast start this year with a 43 in Chagrin Falls’ first dual match of the season.
“Chloe’s strengths are her dedication to the game and work ethic,” Reboul said. “In the offseason, she put in the time to lengthen her long game, sharpen her short game and heighten her golf course management IQ.”
Maggie Mills, who shot a 95 at the CVC preseason tournament, Emma Bartlett and Hanne Wilson also competed for the Tigers at the league event.
