Girls golf
Carmel d. Stevenson: At Countryside Golf Club, Nikki Marquardt’s torrid start to the season continued, but the host Corsairs (177) edged out the Patriots by 1 stroke.

Carmel was paced by sophomore Kayla Ryan and senior Abbey Carpenter with 42s. The Corsairs also received a 46 from senior Sophie Butz and 47s from sophomore Eva Savovich and freshman Erin Kehoe. Carmel was without No. 2 Alexa Amato.
Stephanie Namkoong added a 44 for Stevenson (178).
Marian Central d. Grant: At Boone Creek Golf Club, the Hurricanes (193) won going away.
Kirsten Bank’s 53 paced Grant (231).
