On Tuesday, by a margin of 15 strokes, Reedley College's women's golf Tigers finished second for a Sept. 19 Big 8 Conference women's golf tournament.

That changed two days later on Thursday afternoon at the Belmont Country Club in Fresno when the Tigers shot a season best team score of 313 to win the tournament by eight strokes over defending state champion Modesto Junior College.

Ethel Asequia of RC took medalist with a two-under-par round of 70, making five birdies on the afternoon. That was Esequia's 2nd consecutive Medalist finish. Ava Arredondo was next for the Black and Orange with a 76 (good for fourth place) followed by Meghan Hansen with an 83, Gabrielle Jasso and Miya Zolkoske both with an 84 and Melanie Davila with an 86.
