Sandburg Women’s Golf Wins Region IV Championship
NORTHBROOK — After finishing as runner-up by a stroke at last year's Region IV tournament, the Carl Sandburg College women's golf team made certain there was no drama this time around.
The Chargers claimed the first region championship in program history Tuesday at Heritage Oaks, finishing off a dominant performance in the 36-hole tournament. Sandburg took four of the five spots on the All-Region IV team and put together a two-day total of 756 to win by 188 shots over runner-up Alexandria Tech.
With the victory, Sandburg qualifies to represent the Midwest District at the NJCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship from May 8-11 at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course in Garden City, Kan.
