It’s the second-straight year Northridge has advanced to state, the only two times in program history it’s happened.
“It’s pretty awesome,” Northridge coach Ken Brewster said. “I paced a lot here at the end. We knew it was neck-and-neck. We had a six-shot lead at the turn, and DeKalb seemed to be playing well on the back nine, which they did. They played five strokes better, but it wasn’t enough. … I’m proud of the way the girls battled.”
