FORT MILL -- 

The Fort Mill Lady Jackets golf team won two of four matches this past week to stay above .500 for the season.

Fort Mill beat Rock Hill in a dual match before defeating Nation Ford and losing to Clover in a three-way match. The Lady Jackets also lost to the Lady Blue Eagles in a dual match by just a single stroke.

Fort Mill is now 5-4 on the season.

Against Rock Hill, Fort Mill was led by Sam Hammerle and Alex O’Neill, who both shot a 48 at Fort Mill Golf Club in the 199-223 win.

Olivia Koontz followed them with a 51 and both Randi Smith and Devin Sallenger shot a 52 to round out the scoring for the Lady Jackets.

Head coach Steve Gribble said his team is right on course in preparing for the Region III-AAAA tournament in a couple of weeks.

“We are about where I would expect us to play now,” he said. “We are getting better each week.”

In their dual match with Clover, the Lady Jackets fell 189-190. Clover’s Addison Sanford led the Lady Blue Eagles and the rest of the field by shooting a 41.
