   The Lancers’ senior captured her second consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section Masters individual title by shooting a 1-under par 71 at The Reserve at Spanos Park on Monday. She edged Christian Brothers’ Beah Cruz (73) for the title one year after sharing the section championship with two other golfers. Riley qualifies for the CIF Northern California Regional Championships, which will be held at The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch in Salinas on Nov. 9. As a junior, she followed up her SJS Masters title with third-place finishes at the NorCal (71) and CIF State Golf Championships (73). If she finishes among the top individual golfers at the NorCal event, she will qualify to play at this year’s state tournament on Nov. 17 at legendary Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach. Ten SJS golfers have won NorCal titles with Beyer-Modesto’s Marina Martinez taking the individual championship most recently in 2006, but no SJS girls golfer has ever won a CIF State Golf Championship.

   In addition to Riley and Cruz, Placer’s Natalie Pietromonaco (75) and Lincoln-Stockton’s Madeline Zunino (75) qualified for NorCals as individuals. Granite Bay, led by Vanessa Richani’s 75, won the team title and are headed to NorCal Tournament along with Oak Ridge-El Dorado Hills and Rocklin.
