The Prior Lake girls golf team's scores are improving.

Now the Lakers have to put four good ones together to lower their team total. Junior Sidney Ford led Prior Lake in a South Suburban Conference tournament May 6 at Rich Valley Golf Course.

Ford shot a 83 as the Lakers ended up ninth in the team standings with 383.

Lakeville North won the crown (321), followed by Lakeville South (327), Rosemount (336), Apple Valley (349), Eagan (350), Shakopee (335), Eastview (361) and Burnsville (377). Farmington was 10th (387).

"It was encouraging seeing Sidney go low," Lakers coach Corey Carney said. "Hopefully, this will boost her confidence and there will be more low scores in the future."

Senior Isabel Benson finished with 97 for Prior Lake, followed by junior Zoe Chmielewski (100), junior Britney Maxfield (102), junior Ellen Gandrud (103) and junior Lynh Tran (103).
