Punxsy's four scorers were within four strokes of each other, and five-of-six scored in the 50s, while Brookville, the tournament host, only had two players in the 50s.
"The scores were great today," Punxsy head coach Katie Irwin said. "We had a beautiful day for the match, and the course was in great shape."
NEW BETHLEHEM — The A. J. Parise Youth Football junior team lost its third game of the season to Redbank Valley, 12-0 Saturday in New Bethlehem.

The Chucks opened the contest with the ball, but fumbled on a second-and-long, giving Redbank the rock at the 38.
The Punxsy defense forced Redbank into a fourth-and-10, when the Bulldogs' Hunter Buzzard was able to break loose for a 24-yard score.
