Each of the girls golf teams from Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool were charged with the same task at different points last week, but neither could knock off undefeated, CNY Counties League-leading Fayetteville-Manlius.

When it resumed action last Tuesday on its home course, Liverpool had the first opportunity to test F-M , but never got close to it in a 169-214 defeat to the Hornets.

Mia Avotins posted a 46 at Liverpool Country Club, with Natalya Avotins one shot behind as she finished with 47. Leah Egan, with a 60, and Mia Latifagic, with a 61, were further behind as Bailey Wallace had a 39 for F-M, just ahead of Madison Kingsley (40) and Maggie Bonomo (43), with Justine Burness adding a 47.

Then it was C-NS’s turn on Thursday afternoon, only it had to travel to Green Lakes, and here F-M handled the Northstars 189-222 to go with the 172-199 win it gained at Northern Pines against the Northstars on April 20.

Morgan Siechen had a 51 in the rematch. Nessa McKie, with a 56, beat out Mackenzie Cole (57) and Alex Adano (58), but none of them could keep up with F-M’s leaders as Kingsley shot a 42, six shots ahead of Campbell Kennedy, with Bonomo adding a 49 and Wallace a 50.

Liverpool did win on that same Thursday, handling Baldwinsville 203-232 at Timber Banks.  Mia Avotins handled the tough layout with a 44, while Natalya Avotins had a 47 to top the Bees’ Emma Brushingham (48). Latifagic finished with a 54 and Egan contributed a 58, each of them ahead of the rest of B’ville’s golfers.

C-NS quickly got back in the win column Friday by beating West Genesee 196-222. At Westvale, McKie went to the forefront with a 43, well clear of Siechen’s 48, though they both beat Wildcats golfers Juliana Burns (50) and Mikki Riley (53).
