Later in the week, the Eagles defeated Menlo 191-210, with a trio of Eagles finishing with the three best scores of the day. Tuleubayev led all golfers shooting a 35, with Jin Kim, grade 11, just one stroke behind and Ryan Vaughan, grade 12, shooting a 38. To finish off the week, Harker defeated Sacred Heart Prep 193-215. The Eagles once again finished 1-2-3 in scoring, with Victor Shin, grade 11, shooting a 36, Vaughan shooting a 37 and Tuleubayev tying for third with a 39.
