Sophomore Tesla Vargas is the only girl on the team and really enjoys

playing. “I get to motivate other girls [to play golf],” Vargas said. Vargas has been on the team for 2 years and has improved greatly. Vargas typically shoots in the 80s now. At practice she enjoys listening to music and making memories with her teammates.
