The West Orange Warriors girls golf team beat the Apopka Blue Darters in a weather-shortened regular season match on the back nine of their home course Sept. 10, at Stoneybrook West Golf Club.

The six-on-six matchup between the Orange County schools — originally scheduled to also include Olympia High’s girls golf team — was burdened throughout with storm clouds before weather finally cut the match short.

West Orange as a team shot +43, while Apopka finished at +81. Samantha Quinones (+7) and Lexi Westbay (+8) led the way for the Warriors’ win and were the only two West Orange golfers to play seven full holes.
