SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Wofford College women's golf team wrapped up the first ever Country Club of Spartanburg Spring Invitational on Tuesday, earning third place with a two-round total of 41-over-par 617.
On a day where each of the top four teams struggled, the Terriers carded the second-best team score of the final round of 27-over-par 315. Freshman Katy Funk posted the best round of the five Terriers competing in the team competition, carding an even-par 35 on the front nine en route to a 4-over 76. Funk also posted a 76 in Monday's first round, and completed the 36-hole tournament tied for sixth place with an 8-over-par 152.
Senior Anne Marie Covar also earned a top-10 to help Wofford earn third place. Covar completed the tournament tied for eighth, carding a two-round total of 9-over-par 152. She got off to a rocky start with a 4-over 39 on the front nine, but pulled it together for a 1-over 38 on the back, which included birdies on holes 15 and 16.
Freshman Allyson Markiewicz competed in the tournament as an individual, but showed she has what it takes to make an impact in her first year. Markiewicz matched Covar with a 9-over 153 to tie for eighth place, tying Funk's team-best final round of 4-over 76. The freshman earned the highest finish of anyone competing as an individual, and carded a 1-under 34 on the front nine on Tuesday, sinking two birdies.
High Point took the team title with a winning total of 37-over-par 613, overcoming a two-stroke first-round deficit to finish two strokes ahead of Gardner-Webb. The Runnin' Bulldogs' 39-over 615 was two strokes better than Wofford. Winthrop finished in fourth place (+52), followed by Presbyterian (+72) and The Citadel (+88).
Gardner-Webb's Julia Henderson earned medalist honors with a two-round total of 5-over-par 149. Henderson entered Tuesday tied for second place with teammate Taylor Dodson, and shot a 3-over 75 on Tuesday to edge out both Dodson and first-round leader Sarah Bae of High Point by one stroke.
Also competing for the Terriers in the team competition was junior Lauren Dunbar, senior Shelby Winters and sophomore Maegan Higgins. Dunbar carded two rounds of 6-over 78 to tie for 12th, while Winters took 23rd and Higgins tied for 24th. Higgins entered Tuesday tied for fifth place after carding a 3-over 75 on Monday, but struggled in her second round to a 16-over 88.
Three additional Terriers competed as individuals. Sophomore Emiley Pagrabs led the remaining Terriers with two rounds of 7-over 79 to tie for 15th. Senior Alex Hendricks took 22nd and junior Elizabeth Thompson tied for 28th.
The Wofford women's golf team has two weeks off of competition before its next tournament, when it will head to Orange Park, Fla., for the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational. Play begins Friday, March 14.
