Head coach Jim Mapel said he felt like his team handled the tough course well but overall the team could have handled it better.
The Red Demons lone medalist was senior Logan Gleason whose score of 51 earned her 10th place.
“She hit the ball well most of the day and she actually had a little bit of a problem on the last hole or she would have finished even higher in the top 10,” Mapel said. “I was really pleased with her effort.”
The preseason poll from the Kansas Soccer Coaches Association has been released. The Red Demon boys are ranked sixth in all classes, and fourth in class 6A. The Demons open the 2015 season against Wichita South on September 1, at Memorial Stadium.
