MONTGOMERY — Melina Padgett blistered Country Oaks’ back nine with a one-over-par 37 to lead the Lady Hatchets to a 14-stroke win over Jasper and North Knox on Wednesday.

Ninteenth-ranked Washington, led by Padgett and Mikala Barber with a career-best 42, shot 172. Jasper shot a 186 and North Knox carded a 217.

“Malina played awesome shooting one-over-par,” Lady Hatchet coach Steve Kovaleski said. “She had three birdies and two up-and-down pars on (Holes) 10 and 11 that highlighted her night.”

Larren McDonald finished fourth in the three-way match with a 44. Blythe Wildridge shot a 49, while Hilary Leighty shot 55 and Katie Schmitt carded a 69.

North Daviess freshman Darrah Holder, competing as an individual, shot 49.

“We are starting to be more consistent as a team,” Kovaleski said.

“The ladies are rising up and playing hard every hole.”

The Lady Hatchets’ next match is Monday at Country Oaks against North Central.
