As the Bakersfield College women’s golf season is under way, the team is trying its best to making themselves better every day.

Despite only having four total players, the Renegades managed to finish third at the Western State Conference Canyons Event on Sept. 16 held at Simi Hills Golf Course in Simi Valley.

The other colleges competing in the tournament were College of the Canyons, Citrus College, Glendale College, and tournament winner Santa Barbara City College. The Bakersfield College team finished with an overall score of 363.

Promising freshman Kendall Huser, who shot a 78, tied for second for the best individual score. Sarah Soderberg from Glendale College finished with the best score of 77. The rest of the individual scores for the BC team were as follows: Melissa Lopez shot an 87, Jessica Madrid with a 96, and Julianna Padilla with a 102.

Now that the girls have had a few tournaments under their belts, Coach Bob Paillet said, “I think we can do better. We have to keep building on what we are doing. The girls are competing the best they can.”

The next event for the golf team is Sept. 29-30 at the Morro Bay Tournament.
