Zerfass fired a 2-under round 69 (34-35) with four birdies on the day as the defending EPC regular-season and District XI champs shot a team score of 374, easily defeating second-place Liberty (417) and third-place Northampton (445).
Junior Michelle Cox and sophomore Aiden LeBlanc also had solid rounds for the Hornets, finishing tied for third overall at 3-over 74, while freshman John Keba shot a 6-over 77 and teammate, junior Colin Wong, was three strokes back with 9-over 80 in their first career high school starts.
Northampton’s Nate Wheeler finished second overall with a round of 2-over 73.
