2024 Season Summary
By Coach Tim Kelly
This season Kelsey Sciacca won Player of the Year and Drue Amin won the Coaches Award. This season the Varsity Girls Golf team took a step forward. We qualified as a team for the NCISAA championship (we only took 2 girls last year). We finished 2nd in the conference and 3rd in the state. We had one girl finish on the all-state team, 3 girls finish on the all conference teams (1 first team, 2 second team). Overall, the commitment to the Golf team has increased and we are looking forward to a bright future. ALL-Conference: 1st team- Kelsey Sciacca 2nd Team- Drue Amin 2nd team- Ella Sciacca. All-State: 1st team- Kelsey Sciacca. Kelsey Sciacca won individual medalist at the Carmel Invitational and the CISAA championship.

2023 Season Summary
This year was a year of transition. We had a new coaching staff and several new players. I believe that we made great strides in qualifying two for the state championship with a third just missing the cut. I believe that the girls had a lot of fun this season and each of them took their game to the next level. I believe we are set up well for the future and hope to continue to grow the program and build on the quality and depth of Latin girls' golf. We are all looking forward to next season.

2022 Season Summary
The team goal for the season was to qualify for the NCISAA State Championship, and we almost made it!  Freshman Kelsey Sciacca qualified and junior Pari Haritham and freshman Drue Amin just barely missed the cut by one place in Shotstat. Three players are required to make a team, so Kelsey competed at states as an individual and represented the Hawks impressively, shooting 78 to finish in a three-way tie for tenth. Overall, it was a great season with a young team of eight girls, with two freshmen and a junior providing most of the scoring. This enthusiastic young team has a very bright future!

2021 Season Summary
The varsity girls' golf team had a great season that wasn't necessarily reflected in our team scores or record. With only one senior and a young team, both in age and experience, our focus was on learning, improving, and enjoying the process. Sarah Picciola led the team in scoring and earned All Conference recognition. She and sophomore Pari Hathiram represented the Hawks well as individuals at the NCISAA Championship. The team gelled easily, treated each other with respect and had a lot of fun together.

2020 Season Summary
The varsity girls' golf team expanded this year with the addition of a junior and two freshmen. Returning players Sarah Picciola and Margaret Ann Hidell led the team with their experience and were appreciative of the energy brought by their new teammates. Finding space to practice was a challenge this year with the popularity of golf and limited space at nearby courses. The Hawks made the best of it, even practicing their chipping skills on campus when a course wasn't available. From Coach Griffin: "All of these girls were a pleasure to have on the team. We will miss Margaret Ann next year, but her enthusiasm and passion for the program will hopefully carry over in our younger players."
