Pfantz finished in a tie for fourth place with a score of 78-79-81—238.
           
"Honestly, she didn't feel like she was playing the best," coach Mackenzie Biggs said. "Even when things weren't working for, she did a good job of keeping it together. I was proud to see her stick it out and claim a top-five finish. It's huge for a sophomore to be all-conference for the second time in a row."

Chloe Sundet (sophomore, Urbandale, Waukee Northwest HS) carded a 93-84-85—262.
           
"She was solid today," Biggs said. "There were some putts that didn't fall like she wanted them. But overall, she was putting herself in good positions."
