There are 26 girls this season on the Winner Area golf team.
The returning letterwinners are Ronae Klein, Addy Root, Cheyenne Dougherty, Sam Marts, Lauren Norrid and Kiersten Durrin.
The four seniors on the team are Klein, Marts, Norrid and Macy Olson.
The only senior who graduated was Liz Jankauskas.
Last season the Lady Warriors won the region tournament and placed 6th at the state meet in Hartford.
Last year, Klein led the team as she took 12th place.
Due to the weather, the girls have not had a lot of time to practice outdoors. Coach Kristin Livermont said with the cold weather the girls have been practicing indoors in the middle school gym.
The first tournament for the girls will be the Big Dakota on Thursday in Pierre and on Friday the team will travel to Parkston.
Livermont says the goals for the team is to win the regional and place in the top five at state.
