Sonoma hosting soccer, water polo, X-country, girls tennis

Sparked by junior Jordann Dagner’s medalist performance, Sonoma Valley High School’s young girl golfers won their first match of the season, in what happened to be their regular-season finale, by beating Sonoma County League foe El Molino 305-329 last Thursday at the Sonoma Golf Club course.

The Lady Dragons were led by Dagner’s match-low, nine-hole round of 48, followed by junior Allison Cogbill’s 60, senior Kamryn Barker’s 64, sophomore Jacquie Peterson’s 65, and junior Grace Peterson’s 68.

For Dagner, it was her third medalist effort of the regular season.

“The girls have been improving with every match this season and I knew we were going to break into the win column – it just took the final match to do it,” said longtime Sonoma coach Tom Hickerson. “Jordann (Dagner) continued her consistent good play, and I’m proud of all the girls for always battling and never giving up.”

 The Lady Dragon golfers competed in the SCL Championship Tournament yesterday at the Oakmont East Golf Course in Santa Rosa, with the results not available at presstime.
