SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Wofford women's golf team shot a final round 4-over-par 292, taking second place at the Terrier Intercollegiate on Tuesday from the Spartanburg Country Club.
The Terriers shot the best team score of the day, but did not catch High Point which shot 6-over-par 294 on both Monday and Tuesday for a winning total of 12-over 588. Wofford was eight strokes back after shooting 14-over 302 in the first round and finished six strokes behind the Panthers at 18-over 594. The Terriers finished ahead of third place Savannah College of Art and Design (607, +31), Appalachian State (623, +47), USC Upstate (627, +51), Presbyterian (648, +72) and The Citadel (693, +117).
"I'm pleased with everybody for coming back and keeping their heads on straight today," Wofford head coach Angie Ridgeway said. "We played really well today and that's what we needed to do. We gave ourselves a chance and I'm proud of them."
Freshman Katy Funk had a solid debut to her collegiate career. After carding a 1-over-par 73 on Monday, the Spartanburg High School product shot a 1-under-par 71 on Tuesday to finish even-par and place second on the individual leaderboard. Funk had two birdies and no bogeys on the front nine of her final round and was bogey free until a 15-foot putt for par on 18 lipped out. For the tournament, she finished with five birdies and five bogeys.
"I couldn't be more please with Katy Funk," Ridgeway said. "She had two great days and nearly pulled it off.
"Maegan [Higgins] was solid. She started out the week sitting No. 1 for us and played well for two days. It was good to see leadership come from a freshman and a sophomore."
Sophomore Maegan Higgins earned fifth and senior Anne Marie Covar was sixth. Higgins shaved a stroke off her first round 3-over-par 75 to shoot a 2-over 74 on Tuesday and finish with a 5-over 149. Covar shot a 1-over 73 on Tuesday to complete her tournament at 6-over 150.
"All three of the upperclassmen came back with good rounds and that was key," Ridgeway added.
The Wofford women's golf team is back in action Friday, Sept. 20, beginning the Lady Paladin Invitational in Greenville, S.C.
