Canyons the first to better Vaqueros

Canyons used the home-course advantage Wednesday to hand SBCC its first loss in WSC women’s golf action. The Cougars won WSC Meet No. 3 at par-72 Robinson Ranch by 10 strokes over the Vaqueros (330-340) in the six-team competition.

SBCC (14-1) remained in first place in the conference standings, one game ahead of Canyons.

  “Canyons had the edge, knowing the course better than us,” said Vaquero coach Chuck Melendez, whose team was playing Robinson Ranch for the first time. “There’s a lot of blind shots out there.”

Jennifer Kita of Canyons was the medalist at 79. SBCC’s Asaka Sim and Jackie Molstad were one shot back at 80.

“Asaka’s been solid all year and Jackie played really well,” Melendez noted. “We have different people shining each week. I feel really good about this team.”
