Marlington has four girls back this season with State Tournament experience from last year. Senior Maria Warner finished fifth in the state in Division 2 and sophomore Zoe Mort finished 11th at the Ohio State Gray Course. Marlington is looking to get back to Columbus in 2022 but will have a much more difficult time as they have been bumped up from Division 2 to Division 1. Coach Shawn Dillon said, “We need to improve our short game but I expect another solid season” in reference to how the Dukes can get even better after last year’s run.
