A big shout-out to the Women’s Golf Team. They finished 2nd today among 16 teams at the Mercedes-Benz Intercollegiate in Knoxville. They were 5 strokes behind champion Kent State and shot -17 as a team for the tournament. Golf coach Holly Clark has done an outstanding job starting this team from scratch 3 years ago.
That’s really impressive! Thanks for the update.

All the more impressive when considering the third place finisher was 24 strokes behind us.

Saw on Twitter… Ranked #7 in the country.
The soccer team is ranked #10 in the country, women’s soccer, volleyball and our men’s golf team are all off to strong starts.
Just locked down 2 huge basketball recruits one year after having the #1 recruiting class in CUSA…oh, and our football team is racking up recruits, wins and national attention & hype.
The entire Athletic Dept is performing at #goldstandard
Seriously putting ourselves in position to be a “no brainer” invite to an upgrade in conference affiliation if this keeps up.

There are some big time golf schools in this tournament too. Including Carolina, Auburn, Louisville and Clemson. It is amazing how far the team has come in their third year.
Did not know that the Gamecocks were in the field.

They’ll hang the trophy next to our basketball participation banners
Isn’t Vandy #1?
No Wake Forest is. Vandy is second. But I think they rank by average stroke and it’s way early in the season, so a lot could change. Great start however by our girls.
Women’s golf team take their first championship ever today winning the Yale Intercollegiate. Awesome final round team score of 280, 4 under par. They came from 12 strokes down to win by 5. The ladies are having an amazing year for this being their third year of existence.

Lowest round of the tournament by any team. Two players in a three way tie for 4th place. Pretty strong.
