Beatrice’s Kirsten Baete added to her trophy case on Thursday, defeating former Husker teammate Haley Thiele of Wahoo, 5 and 3, to claim the 98th Nebraska Women’s Match Play Championship at Awarii Dunes Golf Course in Axtell.
Baete isn’t new to winning championships, but it’s been a few years since her last NGA title. The University of Nebraska senior won the 2016 Nebraska Girl’s Amateur Championship.
