Bears Shred School Record..Shoot 343!!







SMAC Conference Championship (Round 2) 

Date: 9/26/12
Location: Angel's Crossing 
Par: 72 


The St. Joseph golf team broke the school record by 14 shots on their way to a new low...343.  The Bears were playing a difficult course in Angel's Crossing, but everyone stepped up their play to finish a solid 2nd place in the SMAC (behind #2 state ranked BC Lakeview).   Hannah Grall led the Bears with a career low, 77.  She ended up low score for the whole tournament on day 2 and moved up to 7th place overall for the 2-day tourney.  She shot a 37 (+1) on the back 9 and missed the individual school record by one shot.  Courtney Rooker followed with a career best 87, shooting 20 shots better than her previous match at Angel's Crossing.  Jessie Fratzke bounced back from a 105 last Thursday to post an 88 and Rowan Conybeare rounded out the top 4 with a solid 91.  Casey Singler and Emma Dine also had fine days..shooting 93 and 95 respectively.  For Casey, the 93 is a new career low during a varisty match and she just missed all-Conference by 1 position (she finished 13th overall).  Emma improved 12 shots from the last round at Angel's Crossing.  

Finally, Hannah Grall, Jessie Fratzke, and Rowan Conybeare all made the All-Conference Team.  This is the first year in the history of the SMAC that multiple players made the All-Conference team from St. Joseph.
