Playing on their home course at Eagle Valley-East, the Carson High golfers turned in their best showing of the season.
Led by Erica Gallegos' 87, the Senators shot a 364 to finish third in the weekly Sierra League Invitational on Monday afternoon.
Bishop Manogue won the event with a 350, seven strokes better than Galena. Wooster was fourth with a 375 and Douglas was fifth at 380.
"Yeah, it helped (playing at Eagle Valley)," coach Jeff Rispin said. "We played a little better today. I was still disappointed in some of the scores.
"Erica beat her previous best by quite a bit. I think we're starting to jell. Hopefully we can carry it over to next week (Tuesday at Wolf Run)."
Heather Evans shot an 88 and Callen Aten had a solid 91. Taylor Krupp shot a 98.
The medalist was Manogue's Carly Farthing with an 80.
