SAN JOSE – St. Francis High School claimed the NCGA/CIF Girls Northern California Championship, advancing to the state championship, to be held next Thursday at Poppy Hills.

The Sacramento school posted a 395, led by Briana Mao’s 74 and Marrisa Mar’s 76, to distance themselves from runner-up Alameda HS by four strokes. Both Alameda HS and Granada HS qualify for the state championship.

In individual play, NCGA Junior Player of the Year Hannah Suh of Evergreen Valley HS posted a one-stroke win over Mariko Tumangan of San Jose and Grace Na of Alameda. Suh fired a two-under 70. Tumangan had been perhaps the hottest high school golfer alive in the last week, after claiming the NCGA Junior Tour Championship at Belmont with a final round 66, and then blowing away the field at the Central Coast Section at Rancho Canada, this time shooting a course record 62.

The top six indivduals not on teams qualify for the state championship. Suh and Tumangan were joined by Taylor Camany of Salinas (72), Haley Andrea of Pacific Grove (74) and Stephanie Hsieh of Monta Vista (74). After a playoff, Alexandra Wong claimed the last spot in the state field.

The State Championship will be contested next Thursday, November 19 at Poppy Hills.
