Xavier walked away with the team trophy with a remarkable 24-under-par outing at the Ironwood Ridge Nighthawk Invitational this past weekend at the Omni Tucson National, home of the AIA state championships.

Cactus Shadows took second, some 46 strokes behind with a respectable 22-over finish and Hamilton took third.

Individually, Xavier junior standout Ashley Menne led from beginning to end with an 11-under 132 for the two-round event. She led teammate Breyana Matthews 66-67 after day one on Friday but Menne held steady with another 66 on Saturday for the 5-stroke victory. Salpointe standout Alexandra Quihuis and Xavier standout Bailee Tayles tied for third with a 5-under 138.

Xavier Prep and Hamilton compete in Division I while Cactus Shadows and Salpointe play in D-II. An Arizona State commit, Menne won the D-I championship as a freshman and as a sophomore. Quihuis took second at the D-II state playoffs last year.
