CLOVERDALE -- Challenging heat made a cross-county clash between the South Putnam and Cloverdale girls' golf teams unpleasant, but the Eagles battled through the fumes to come away with a win, finishing at a season low 215 to best the Clovers' 228 at Clover Meadows on Monday.

Senior Kyndra Boyce led the Eagles with a 46. Alicia Haywood finished with a career-best 55, Clair Perry and Allacyn Arnold each shot 57 and Carlee Schlatter shot 62.

"The girls are working hard and it's showing," SPHS coach Gloria Curtis said.

The Clovers were led by Harlee Fuetter, who tied with Boyce for medalist honors with a career-best 46. MaKayla Moore shot a 56, followed by Anna Spencer's 60, Abbie Speas' 66, Izzy Wardlow's 67 and Kelsey Nees's 73.

"Team score-wise we had a little bit of an off night," CHS coach Matthew Langdon said. "But I told the girls we get to quickly forget about tonight and look forward to having a better meet (on Tuesday) night."

The Clovers played at Crawfordsville on Tuesday. Their next match is Monday at Owen Valley at 4:30 p.m.

The Eagles host Southmont on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.
