The Marvel Rivals team lost in the finals of the Mountain West Regionals 2-3 in an exciting match that came down to the last few seconds of play. Finishing in 2nd place out of 94 teams is a great season. Well done!

Foothills Golf Course proved an ideal venue for Tuesday's girls' golf Metro League tournaments, with the Championship 18 hosting varsity play, and the Executive 9 giving JV players their toughest test of the season with a mixed par 3/par 4 course.

STEM's varsity four continued to demonstrate increased composure as the season progresses, holding their own in groupings that included golfers from host Colorado Academy, Skyview, Prospect Ridge and Mountain Vista.

Leah Hunt recorded a season-best score of 105 to lead the charge for the Spartans. Ryann Vanderhye (124), Rowan LaRose (130) and London Treece (134) rounded out the scores for STEM on a bluebird day on the course.

Hunt's day began with two pars in the first seven holes (on Holes 4 and 7), with her front-nine score of 49 giving weight to the chances that a STEM golfer could break the 100 mark by the end of the season.

Mandy Britt placed fourth on the JV side, navigating the very steep Executive 9 with a score of 13-over (44). Marina Miller also placed in the top-10 with her round of 48 placing her in 8th. Cat Bench rounded out STEM's day on the JV side with a 62. Britt was right in the tournament lead early on, with pars on Holes 2 and 4, before ending four shots back of eventual co-leaders Alex Schulte (Colorado Academy) and Lily Zirakzadeh (St. Mary's). Miller ended her round with an incredible stretch of 3-over par for the final four holes, including a par on Hole 7.

STEM varsity will next compete at the Kent Denver Invitational at Glenmoor Country Club on Tuesday, April 28. The JV will compete against DSST: Cole and Englewood at Emerald Greens Golf Course on Wednesday, April 29.
