WESTFIELD – Win … and they’re in.
Sebastian Soendergaard and Dan Hickson each shot a 38 at Tekoa Country Club to help Westfield defeat West Springfield 159-176 Tuesday and earn a spot in the Western Massachusetts championships with a 9-2 mark.
A first or second place league finish, or a .500 or better overall record, is required to compete in the postseason.
Westfield, at 9-2, can finish no worse than 9-9.
“It was a good win for us,” Westfield coach Chris Strycharz said. “The kids played pretty well. It’s nice to get into the tourney this early in the year … half way into the season.”

Palmer’s top golfer, Zach Jones shot a 38 at Tekoa Country Club to keep the Panthers unbeaten at 11-0.
No golfer for Palmer shot worse than a 47. St. Mary’s Harry Reed shot a team-low 43.

No. 1 golfer Matt King shot a match-low 36 to take 2.5 points for Voc-Tech at East Mountain Country Club. Tigers’ Jake Parsons shot a 44.
