As the season progresses, the Falcons have already faced some of their toughest league opponents. Even though they’ve been playing well, they have suffered consecutive losses to leave their record at 5-5 as of Oct. 8.

The team fell to league opponent Los Gatos High on Oct. 6 222-225 at La Rinconada Golf Course.

      While the Falcons usually beat Monta Vista High by at least 20 or 30 points, during a match at home on Oct. 5 the win was by a small margin: 235-237.

“The weather's been really bad all week so we didn't [practice]  on the course at all,” said junior Cynthia Yang. “It kinda threw us off.”

      The Falcons played Gunn High school on Sept. 29 at the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course and lost 197-210. The best player for that match was freshman Janelle Jin, also the No. 1 player on the team, with a score of 35 for nine holes.

“I am really proud of how we are playing as a team,” senior Ankitha Sarvesh said. “Unfortunately, every time we play somewhere, the other team is getting lucky and playing better than they ever have.”

Against Lynbrook at the Deep Cliff Golf Course on Sept. 24, the girls achieved the best scores so far this season — but so did the Lynbrook team. The results were close, but Lynbrook won 161-166.

“Our match with Lynbrook was rough because both teams played really well, but Lynbrook had one girl who shot an amazing round of five under and that's why they won,” junior Anya Herne said.  

During the match at their home course of the Saratoga Country Club against Palo Alto on Sept. 22, the Falcons lost 208-222. Shooting a 42, Jin tied with Sarvesh for the best score on the team.

After these losses, their record is now 5-5, and the Falcons are hoping to improve their putting to come back strong in an upcoming match against Lynbrook and Gunn on Oct. 19.
