The home course did not provide an advantage for the Pella girls golf team on Thursday afternoon, as the Lady Dutch were defeated by Newton in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals were able to overcome intermittent rain showers and temperatures in the mid-40s to shoot a combined score of 198, while Pella shot a 211 at the Bos Landen Golf Course.
Newton’s Nicole George shot a 46 to take medalist honors, while Pella’s Karissa Rempe led the Lady Dutch with a 49; tying two Newton players in the runner-up slot. The Pella girls golf team is now 5-2 overall this season and 2-1 in the conference.
