A big win for Indiana, which knocked off Section-leading Kiski Area by five strokes, breaking 200 at the Indiana Country Club.

Ryan Bell shot 40, Logan Okopal and Will Steve 41, and Rudy Lipniskis 42. Kiski has clinched a share of the Section title, while Indiana still has a shot at second place and a spot in the WPIAL playoffs. They have another big Section match today at Penn Trafford.
The Indiana girls dropped an 18-stroke decision at Kiski Area. Ava McCombie led Indiana with a 59, one stroke ahead of Lyla Pangonis, two up on Gracie Reed, and Angelina Donatelli finished seven stroke firth back of McCombie. Match medalist was Kiski’s Avery Nix, with a 52.
