The Manteca Buffalos were led by a solid nine-hole round from Mickey Dias whose round of 53 led the Buffalos over the Sierra Timberwolves 323-333 Wednesday at Manteca Golf Course.

Dias was followed by Brooke Mejorado (63), Airenne Curry (65), Emily Owlsey (69 and Kaylie Grimes’ round of 73. The Buffalos improved to 2-2, while Sierra fell to 1-3.

The Timberwolves 10-stroke loss was a vast improvement on the groups’ last round at the course. Sierra improved several strokes, signifying an upcoming turnaround for the youth-laden Timberwolves.

“Our last match at Manteca we shot a 373,” Sierra head coach Jack Thomson said. “So today we knocked 40-strokes off the scores. Needless to say, I am really happy with our team.

“Allison (Smith) has done a great job for us; she really is the only one on the team with any experience.”

Smith turned in medalist-honors with a 13-over-par 50, followed by teammates Tiana Nelson and Holly Cook who both shot 67. Elia Vasquez and Melanie Kiesel shot 71 and 78, respectively.
