Bishop O’Dowd girls golf’s special season has ended with a West Alameda County Conference championship.

The Dragons turned in a sterling effort at the league championship match on Wednesday, compiling a team score of 391 to finish in first place. Alameda (414), Castro Valley (483), Piedmont (562), Berkeley (570), San Leandro (606) and Arroyo (609) were the other teams competing.

Arizona commit Sydney Silva led the way for O’Dowd, carding a 3-under-par 68 on the par-71 course. Freshman Hayley Fong carded an even-par 71, and senior Chelsie Chin shot a 2-over 73.

The Dragons’ top three finishers were the three best in the overall field. O’Dowd senior Chloe Blume shot a personal-best 85 to place seventh.

“I’m extremely proud of the senior leadership, as they took care of business like they have been doing all year,” said coach Zach Hile. “Hayley Fong has just gotten better as the year has gone on. Several of the girls said they felt like they didn’t play that great, so I’m excited to see what they can do when they are on. Special shoutout to juniors Ananya Prem and Mackenzie Daniel for fighting through adversity in their rounds.”
