Tuesday's Metro League tournament at Broadlands Golf Course offered a rare occasion for the members of STEM's girls' golf team to play together in a group with one of their teammates.

Once again among the youngest teams in the field, the Spartans were represented by the sophomore pair of Leah Hunt and Ryann Vanderhye starting in the 16A pairing, and the freshman duo of Mandy Britt and Marina Miller in the 16B group.

Britt continued her strong recent form to lead STEM with a round of 108, with Hunt (117), Vanderhye (127) and Miller (140) rounding out the team's scoring.

All four of the Spartans golfers earned praise from onlookers, with coaches and parents from other schools commenting on the progress that they have noticed from STEM in the span of just four varsity tournaments since the start of the season.

The tournament represented Miller's varsity debut. Moving from 9-hole to 18-hole tournaments is a huge undertaking, but Miller comported herself admirably all day, keeping her ball in play despite a wealth of water traps waiting on almost every single hole of the course.

Miller and Britt saved their best for last, both reaching the green in regulation on their final hole -- with Britt also sinking her birdie putt to put an exclamation mark on her round.

While Miller and Britt were paired with the second-place finisher in the entire tournament, Paige Danforth from host school Jefferson Academy, Hunt came through as the low scorer in her foursome, with all four golfers in the group very evenly matched throughout the day.

STEM will next compete at the Denver Christian Thunder Classic on Tuesday, April 14th at Fox Hollow Golf Course.

Girls Soccer played at Englewood on Monday and hosted Loveland on Wednesday, taking tough losses in both contests. The team plays again on Monday at home against Rocky Mountain Prep Smart.

Good luck Spartans!
