Members of Carroll girls golf team are (l-r): Malena Zook, Kirstin Arkwright, Megan Garrison, Emma Packard, Katie Unger, and Taylor Sproul. Photo provided Carroll senior Megan Garrison successfully defended her sectional title, firing an outstanding round of even par 72, five strokes better than her nearest competitor.

With the win she advances to the Lafayette Regional for the fourth year in a row.

"Things started a little shaky with three putt bogeys on the first two holes," said her coach and father, Erin Garrison. "Then she got things going, finishing the first nine with a one under par 35. The second nine was a good steady round as well ending with a one over par 37 with a bogey on the 18th hole."

The Carroll girls golf team competed in the Lafayette Sectional Saturday at the par 72 Lafayette Municipal Golf Course. The Lady Cougars played some of their best golf of the season, said Garrison, but came up short finishing sixth out of 8 teams with a 393 score.

Carroll's scoring was rounded out by Taylor Sproul with a 97, Malena Zook 104, Kirstin Arkwright 126 and Katie Unger 120. Sproul and Zook both lowered their scores from last year's sectional and Unger shot her best round of the season.

"Seniors Sproul, Zook and Garrison have been an instrumental part of this three-yearold program and finish their Carroll career with a threeyear record of 25 wins and 14 loses," Garrison added.

Saturday's regional will also be played at Lafayette Municipal.
