San Marcos beats Santa Barbara in golf
Stella Ashamalla delivers another of her impressive scores for the San Marcos High School team.
San Marcos defeated cross-town rivals Santa Barbara 277-285 in a close girls golf match Tuesday.
Royals Coach Sarah Ashton said San Marcos was pleased with the victory, and she noted that both teams displayed a high level of etiquette and sportsmanship.
“We had consistent play by sophomore Stella Ashamalla with a 47 and sophomore Fia Torrey with a 51,” Ashton told the News-Press in an email.
“Fia parred the first hole and played with a lot of confidence today,” the coach said Tuesday. “Stella has a calm and focused demeanor about her when she plays, which is very refreshing.”
Other Royals athletes and their scores were Riley O’Brien, 54; Evelina Erickson, 59; Sadi Adams, 66; and Talia Cummings, 73.
The Dons players and their scores were Lauren Fitzgerald, 51; Ella Arce, 56; Jasmine Zukor, 58; Maizi McKnight and Ella Sales, both with 60; and Riley Malmsten, 65.
On Tuesday, San Marcos will take on Cabrillo.
