Rochester 168, Peru 201, Northfield 208 (Tuesday): Ava Thomas shot a 2-over-par round of 38 on the back nine at Round Barn Golf Club at Mill Creek, which included a birdie on No. 18, to earn medalist honors and lead the host Lady Zs past Peru and Northfield in a three-way match Tuesday.

Olivia Bailey added a 39 on a round that included seven pars. Bailey was playing in the same group with Peru freshman Piercey Dyer, who shot a 75 at Mill Creek Saturday and was the Three Rivers Conference runner-up.

Dyer matched Bailey’s 39, but Thomas, Rochester’s No. 2 player, beat them both, and no other Peru player broke 50.

Payton Moore had a 43, Lexi Haughs had a 48, and Ella McCarter had a 57 to round out the Rochester scorecard.

Laynie Migonis shot a 56 for the JV.

Moore had birdies on Nos. 14 and 18. Haughs had a par on No. 18.

This was Rochester’s first competitive round since winning the TRC on their home course Saturday.
