Rain Puts Damper On NA Winning Streak
On a soggy Thursday afternoon at North Park Golf Course, the North Allegheny boys’ golf team hosted the Pine-Richland Rams in a section contest. With four the six golfers done for the day, and still two golfers remaining on the course, the skies opened and ended golf for the evening. The match resumed Friday morning and concluded with a narrow defeat for the Tigers, 189-190.
NA was led by sophomore Colin Ward with a 1-under par 35. The Tigers kept things tight thanks to an even par 36 from junior Chris Hoffman and a 38 by sophomore Ravi Desai. Sophomore Liam Cooper shot a 39 and senior Jake Watterson added a 42. Pine-Richland was paced by a pair of 37’s from Roger Williams and Will Hilton.
The outcome snaps a five-match winning streak for North Allegheny and drops the team’s record to 10-2 overall and 5-2 in section play. The Tigers look to bounce back on Monday with a home date with the Butler Golden Tornado.
