Press Staff Report

OELWEIN — In one of the few times they have been outside all season, the Charles Comets were able to win their belated girls golf season opener on the road after defeating Oelwein by 15 strokes in 9-hole play.

Charles City senior Emma Williams led the way while pacing the team with a 56 — Husky Amber Rosentiel was 2 strokes better for medalist honors.

Rounding out the varsity scoring for Charles City were Kara Hoffman (64), Maddee Tjaden (66) and Marissa Daniels (68).

“I am very proud of the girls and their work on the course tonight,” Charles City coach Eric Johanningmeier said. “We have had a rough spring and to take on a meet with very little outdoor practices and no putting work.”

Hope Slinger shot a 64 to lead Charles City’s jayvee players.

“We have the foundation to be a solid team and look forward to continuing to improve as the weather and season progresses,” Johanningmeier said.
