The girls suffered their first loss of the season as they finished second in the foursome. The Lady Tide shot a 180 against Appling’s 169. They beat the Indians’ score of 185 and the Herons’ 216.

Junior Savannah Wells was the low scorer for the Lady Tide with a 58 and was fourth in individual scores. Briana Copes shot a 59 for the Lady Tide.

The Lady Tide are now 6-1 on the season as well.
