Golf:
If anyone thought La Salle’s unbeaten run to a Camino Real League title was a fluke or a down year for the other programs, the Lady Lancers proved them all wrong.
La Salle would cement a banner 2025 season with a CIF-SS Division 4 team championship.
The Lancers got starring roles at the Green River Golf Course in Corona from Sarah Tutundjian, Amber Li and Samantha Hu.
Tutundjian led the way shooting a 9-over-par 82, while Li shot an 85.
Hu finished with an 87.
Karolina Azula and Angela Zhou each posted 92’s.
Sophomore Emma Bardakjian shot a 109.
The five top scores combined for a total of 438.
The two teams tying for second (Fullerton and Valley Christian) shot 474.
The Lancers cleared the field by 36 strokes.
Quotable:
La Salle coach, Ed O’Connor: “I preached all season that if they played like they capable, we had a chance to win. I kept telling and showing them last year’s winning CIF Division 4 final score saying we could beat that score (441), and if we did, we should win. We most certainly did. Last year, we shot a 461, and we improved that score by 23 strokes. I could not be happier for the team. Props to senior, Reese Names, who played several of the matches this year to help the Lancers.”

Football: Last week, Allan Hancock College reportedly didn’t have enough ‘healthy bodies’ to take on Mt. SAC.
