NAPPANEE - The Warsaw Tiger golf team placed second in Saturday's NLC Championship to claim second place overall in the conference.

Twice the Tigers have lost matches to a conference opponent, and both times it was Goshen. Once again for Warsaw, it was just too much Inga Snyder. Snyder, who shot a 34 on the par 36 McCormick Creek Golf Course in late August to help beat Warsaw, came through again on the course. The Goshen star shot a 37 on the front nine and a 39 on the back nine for a 76.

Goshen shot a 359, and Warsaw was a distant second with a 407. Tricia Suchecki and Brooke Westover each shot a 99 to lead Warsaw.

Also for the Tigers, Amy Landis shot a 101, Ashley Cooper a 108 and Julie Arnold a 110.

"We played to our average, but Goshen had great scores from all their players," Turner said. "They are a great team, especially their No. 1, Snyder. Our girls had a good NLC season. We went 5-1 to finish second.

"Now we need to focus on the sectional."

Wawasee placed third with a 425. Kari Wortinger shot a 96, Carly Beer a 106, Julia Wolfe a 109, Jennifer Light a 114 and Megan King a 128.

Two Warsaw golfers made the All-Conference team. Suchecki and Westover were two of the eight to make the team. Wortinger was Wawasee's lone representative to make the team. Snyder and three other Goshen players also made the team.

Arnold and Landis were named to the honorable mention list.

Counting the NLC regular season matches and the Saturday's championship match, Goshen finished in first with 14 points. Warsaw was second with 12, while NorthWood was third with 8.5. Wawasee was fourth with 7.5
