Second-year Cardinal coach Glenn Travers finally earned his first coaching victory on Monday and he celebrated it with an ice cream cone at Kuhars Dairy Freeze in Painesville.
Travers, who took over the program last year, inherited a roster filled with youth and inexperience. The Huskies were competitive in several matches last fall but never managed to win a match.
After losing to Harvey in a tie-breaker last year, the Huskies edged the Red Raiders on Monday, 203-214, at Painesville Country Club.
“That was great to get my first win as a coach,” Travers said. “We tied Harvey last year and it went down to the fifth score and they beat us. It was nice to turn it on them this year.”
Virginia Travers won medalist honors with a 48 while Jonathan Heredos carded a 50, Kevin Hammitt came in with a 52 and Daniel Heredos shot a 53 to close out the scoring for the Huskies.

“They were thrilled,” Coach Travers said. “A couple of them started out really good and a couple others struggled with the greens. It was just tough on everybody today. The course was real tough for both teams. I took the kids out for ice cream to celebrate. They were elated.”
The Huskies host league rival Kirtland at Rolling Green Golf Course on Wednesday.
