Tribe still undefeated

The Indians have put themselves in position to win the Midwest Athletic Conference.

With two matches left, they control their own destiny.

The Fort Recovery High School girls golf team beat the Versailles Tigers 196-212 at Portland Golf Club on Thursday to remain undefeated in MAC play with only two matches remaining.

Olivia Knapke shot the best round for the Indians, finishing with 45 strokes. She was eight strokes behind match medalist Ella Porter.

Mallory Evers stayed hot to break 50 for the third match in a row. She ended with a 47.

Emma Will added a 51, while Eva Kahlig tied her season-best score of 53 to wrap up the scoring.

Rounds of 54 and 57 from Georgia Wenning and Evvie Briner didn’t affect the final.

The Indians’ 6-0 MAC record (10-2 overall) has them one match ahead of Minster (5-1) and 1.5 matches in front of St. Henry (5-2). Fort Recovery has seventh-place St. John’s coming to town next before they travel to take on St. Henry for the chance of an outright MAC title.
