Girls Golf

2026 Season Review

The Lady Royal golfers exceeded their expectations when it came to the 2026 season. They were optimistic at the beginning of the season, but uncertain on how they would measure up against their competition. By the end of the season, the girls had developed greater confidence in their abilities and were proud of the progress they made. They even finished as runners-up in both the Circle-City Conference tournament and the Marion County tournament. Two Royals earned All-Circle City Conference and All-Marion County honors for their hard work throughout the season; juniors Izzy Huxley and Ava Wenzel. 

The Royals were also able to qualify for regionals as a team for the first time since 2017. They finished 5th out of 15 schools in the IHSAA Regional Tournament and freshman Hannah Jansen advanced to the state finals by placing 3rd in the tournament. This was the first time a Roncalli golfer has gone to state since 2013! These were significant accomplishments that reflected their hard work, dedication and growth throughout the season. 

Coach Egold shared, “My most memorable moment from the season was after the sectional tournament. We were one of the first teams to finish, so we were waiting with anticipation for all the teams to finish and to receive the final results. All of the girls felt they had played well, and we felt we could have a chance to advance as a team. While we were waiting, the girls played games together. It was fun to watch and be a part of their friendly banter and it showed what a tight knit group they are. In the end, we got to celebrate as a team advancing to regionals. These Lady Royals are excited to continue putting in the work and come back strong for next season.”
