DAY IN SPORTS: MOORPARK ON MOVE DUCLOS' FAMILY TIES MAKING THE DIFFERENCE.

Byline: Daily News

Moorpark High's girls golf team is receiving early title consideration in the always-tough Marmonte League, and the Musketeers played up to that billing Tuesday with a 237-245 nonleague victory over fellow Marmonte power Westlake.

Jami Duclos, daughter of coach Jody Duclos, shot 41 and Kate Hanson 42 to lead Moorpark (2-0) at par-35 Elkins Ranch Golf Course, where Ashley Freiberg of Westlake shared medalist honors at 41.

Lauren Kelsey added a 46 for Westlake (0-1), which is considered to be another of the primary challengers for this year's Marmonte title, along with Calabasas and defending league champion Agoura.

``We hope to have a solid team'' said Jody Duclos, who directed the Musketeers to the 2001 league title with another of her daughters, current Moorpark College student Shannon Duclos, leading the way. ``We don't have too many standout players this year so it's going to be different.''

Jody Duclos' Musketeers played solid enough to record what is believed to be a school course record Tuesday at Elkins Ranch, when Jami Duclos and Hanson both had birdies.
