COLUMBIA - Eldon's Kassidy Hull recorded one of Team Missouri's three match play singles wins Thursday on the final day of the 52nd annual Junior Girls Four State Championship at Country Club of Missouri.

Hull birdied the par-4 14th hole and parred the par-3 15th hole, building her lead to 3-up with three holes to play, clinching at least half a point for the match. She made a par on the par-5 16th hole, while Klausner finished with a bogey, to end the match.
Hull shot 7 over on the front nine but was 2 under on the seven holes she played on the back nine.
