The Cardinals fought hard, but in the end came up short in a 4-2 loss to Iowa Falls-Alden on Monday, April 18.

“Iowa Falls-Alden is a physical team and that is something we usually struggle with,” said Coach Josh Banse.  “The game was a lot closer than the score shows and they proved they can play with teams like this.”

Payton Bamrick and Hannah Lau scored the two goals for the Cardinals.

Goalie Morgan Westendorf had seven saves.

It was a busy week for the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls golf team, as they competed in three meets.

On Monday, April 18, the team was at North Iowa, where they struggled to record some decent scores.

“This was our worst performance as a team in quite a while.  The weather was not a factor and the course was not that difficult.  It just seemed that all of the girls managed to find trouble somewhere,” said Coach Todd Greiman.
