The Blue Earth Area Buccaneer girls golf team made a dramatic drop in their team score when they played in their second meet of the season last Tuesday.

And, the Bucs notched their first win, moving to a 1-1 season record.

BEA came in with a team score of 225, far below the 240 they had shot on Monday night at the Minn-Iowa course in Elmore.

Tuesday night the Bucs were playing on the Fox Lake course at Sherburn against Martin County West. MCW came in with a DNF score (did not finish). Even so, the Buccaneers were pleased with the 15 point drop in their team score from the day before.

Natali Fellows again led the Buccaneers by coming in with a 44 for the circle ten meet.

Kaitlyn Olsen and Mateja Lane tied for the next lowest score with a pair of 59s.

Next up was Malarie Scholtes with a 63, Signe Olson with a 64 and Olivia Myer who carded a 65.

This week the Buccaneers host St. James on Monday, then travel to the New Ulm Invitational on Thursday and come back and host Windom on Friday.

St. Peter 203, BEA 240

Despite getting a medalist performance from one of their members, the Blue Earth Area Buccaneers girls golf team lost by 37 strokes to the St. Peter Saints last Monday evening at the Minn-Iowa Golf Course in Elmore.

The Buccaneers shot a team total 240, but the Saints came in with a 203.

Buc junior Natali Fellows led the team by shooting a 46, good by one stroke to give her medalist honors over St. Peter’s Anna Amos who carded a 47.

But while the Saints had their next three players come in with scores in the 50s, the Bucs next three varsity golfers all carded scores in the 60s.

Olivia Myers came in with a 62 for the Bucs next lowest tally. She was followed by Ashley Peterson who shot a 64 for the nine holes.

BEA’s fourth score for team total was a 68, shot by both Signe Olson and Malarie Scholtes.

The Saints other three scores for their team total were 51, 52 and 53.

BEA’s other varsity player, Kaitlyn Olsen, shot a 74.

The Buccaneer junior varsity came in with a win by defeating the JV Saints by a score of 202 to 245.
