The Reedley College women’s golf team finished the first undefeated season in Lady Tiger history with a 358-453 victory over the Taft College Cougars on March 25 at the Buena Vista GC in Taft.
The 12–0 Tigers tied their best score
of the season with a 358. Sophomore Mya Chou (Golden West, Visalia) led the Tigers with a round of 83. Sophomore Kayla Her- nandez (Paso Robles) was next with an 86. Sophomore McKenzie Quinn (Clovis East) followed with an 89 while Cynthia Reyes (Golden West, Visalia) was next with a 100.
‘‘I’m really proud of the girls and how they played all season,’ said Tiger head
coach Scott Stark. ‘We continued to get better every week.’
‘‘I’m so happy that Reedley College, Dr. Buckley, our president, our AD David San- testeban, and the dean of our division, Juan Bedolla, supported our women’s golf team to compete during this COVID shortened season," said the coach. ‘’To finish the sea- son undefeated is just icing on the cake!"

Nick Wise caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from John Pena just before halftime, but a missed extra point kick kept the score at 7-6. Kingsburg had gotten on the board earlier in the quarter on a 1-yard run by Trace Jackson.
Both teams had big defensive stands in the second half. The Apaches stopped Kingsburg on downs inside its own 10-yard-line early in the third quarter, and the Vikings twice turned away the hosts in the final period. Sanger drove to the Kingsburg 31 in the final minute before turning the
