Matanzas High School's girls golf team won its season-opening match 180-189 against Flagler Palm Coast High at Palm Harbor Golf Club on Monday, Aug. 24.

Matanzas junior Mary Grace Seward shot 4-over-par 40 to win individual medalist honors. FPC's Ivey Tsouklaris was second with a 41.

"I'm happy I can come out for my team and win," Seward said. "Everyone played really well."

Seward shanked her tee shot into the woods on the par-5 No. 3 but scrambled out and recovered for a bogey. She finished with pars on four of the last five holes (Nos. 5, 6, 8 and 9).

The Pirates' other scorers were McKenzie Harrington and Scarlett MacKenzie, who each shot a 46, and Willa Furnari, who shot a 48. FPC's other golfers included Sydney Adams and Lilah Cool, who both shot  a 49, and Taci Cook, who shot a 50.

"We have two rookies on the team," said Matanzas coach Bryan Schewitz. "But we have a good anchor in Mary Grace."
