Atholton put the finishing touches on the best season in girls program history Wednesday, getting an even-par round of 27 points from Bryana Nguyen and knocking off Reservoir, 56-14.
The victory secured the Raiders a 10-1 record. The team's only loss of the season came back in early September against Marriotts Ridge, which currently sits undefeated with one tri-match remaining on its schedule.
Should Marriotts Ridge sweep Centennial and Glenelg in that match next Tuesday, the Mustangs would clinch sole possession of their second straight county title.
For Atholton at Fairway Hills against Reservoir, the formula was similar to what it has been all season. Nguyen led the way with a round in the upper 20s and the team's other three golfers, McKenzie Fields, Amanda Peterson and Jenny Tae, provided plenty of support.
Fields finished with 15 points, including two pars, and Peterson (8 points) and Tae (6) each beat their Reservoir counterparts.
"They all have worked hard, not just Monday through Friday but the weekends as well, and you can see the progress," Atholton coach Scott Robinson said. "One of our goals, especially being lucky enough to have a golfer like Bryana, has been to build the girls side of our golf program and we're definitely on the right track. It's been a very good season."
Nguyen had an up-and-down day by her standards, missing a couple short putts and mixing two bogies, two birdies and five pars over her nine holes. Still, her 27 points further cemented the best-ever regular season by a county girls golfer.
Nguyen finishes with a scoring average of 27.7 points in 10 matches, becoming the first girl to finish with an average better than 27. She shot worse than 27 points only once all fall.
In the loss, Reservoir was led by 5 points apiece from Bailey Parater and Tabby Gaverth.
