Castillo shot a 92 to claim second behind medalist Bella Cha (90) of Prosser as the Tigers impressively captured four of the top five individual spots during their final pod match of the season. Lining up behind Castillo were teammates Ceci Roth, one stroke back with a 93 to finish third, Stella Bayley shot 94 for fourth and Sophie Molitor took fifth at 98 to complete the EHS scoring quartet.
Alyee Roberts shot 107 for 15th, and senior Natalin Abundiz rounded out Ephrata's lineup at 139.
Combined, the Tigers' score of 377 beat runnerup Othello (427) by 50 strokes in an eight-team field. Quincy placed third at 447, Ellensburg fourth at 449 and East Valley fifth at 460.
Ephrata won the regular-season team title with 60 points, 6.5 clear of Othello (53.5) and Selah (50.5). In doing so, the Tigers won six of seven pods — the only blemish was a fourth-place finish at Ellensburg on April 7 when they were missing two of their top four golfers during spring break.
Bayley ran away with the CWAC's individual season title with 300 points, Castillo (272) placed second, with Prosser's Cha third at 265. Other Tigers finishing among the league's top 15 golfers were Molitor 10th (215), Roberts 13th (184.5) and Roth 14th (174.5).
