Golf: Dominion Clinches Share of Dulles District Title with Balanced Play Against Loudoun Valley

Dominion golf keeps on winning

(Sept. 6, 2012) - The Dominion High School golf team's balanced play on Wednesday gave the Titans a crucial 4-stroke victory over previously unbeaten Loudoun Valley. The 146-150 9-hole dual meet win at Loudoun Golf and Country Club clinched a share of a second straight Dulles District title for the Titans.

Dominion (6-0-1 dual meet mark) can clinch the district title with a win in either today's (weather permitting) match against Loudoun County (4-3-0) at Westpark or the Sept. 11 season ending match with Briar Woods (4-3-0) at Trump National.

Loudoun Valley (6-1-0), despite the great dual meet mark, had already fallen out of the district title race after a sixth place finish in the second of two district mini tournaments in August. The Dulles District mini tournaments count two-thirds towards the regular season title with the dual meet season the final third in calculating the crown.

Tuscarora (6-0-1)  finished one spot behind Dominion in both mini tournaments so the Huskies needed to put some room between them and the Titans to take the district title but the two teams tied, 164-164, in their Aug. 30 dual at Lansdowne. The Huskies face Potomac Falls today at Lansdowne and then finish on Sept. 11 with Loudoun Valley, also at Lansdowne.

In Wednesday's big match, Kurt Funkhouser shot an even par 35 to lead Dominion with Sam Stillwell, Erik Dulik and Matt Henderson all carding 37s for the balanced Titans. Loudoun Valley was led by Ian Hildebrand's 2-under 33. Also for the Vikes: Trevor Colby shot 35 while Scott Mumpower turned in a 39 while Troy Mumpower carded 43.
