The Seminole State Women's Golf Team finished sixth out of 9 teams at the Jupiter Women's Invitational.
Coach Christa Teno liked how they finished on Tuesday, but not much else. "We didn't play very well on Monday," noted Teno. "We were vastly improved on Tuesday. Lot of youth on this team. We'll get better."
