Pioneers Contend For Conference Title
Approximately half way into the 2009 golf campaign, the Hill-Murray girls golf team finds itself in second place in the Classic Suburban Conference with several key conference matches just over the horizon. The Pioneers have won both of their northern division contests besting Mahtomedi, Tartan and North St. Paul. In the only match that involved the entire conference this year, the top 5 teams were separated by just one stroke, with the Pioneers coming in 4th, due to various tiebreakers. The Pioneers next conference action is Thursday, April 30th when they will participate in the conference mid-season tournament at Highland National.
