GREENSBORO, N.C. – Behind three Terriers in the top-20, including Maggie Jackson's third-place mark, the Wofford women's golf team earned a fourth-place finish in the Grandover Fall Classic at the Grandover Resort and Conference Center.

The top of the individual leaderboard was tight the entire way, but after two rounds of play on day one, Maggie Jackson stood above the rest with a 3-over par 147 to hold first place by a stroke. But a tough final round did Jackson in, as she shot 6-over par on the final day to finish 9-over at 225. Despite this final hiccup, Jackson held on to tie for third place at just three strokes off the lead, earning her first-career top-five finish in third place, a new career-best mark. With 6 birdies, Jackson tied with Xuan Khue Minh Doan for the team lead.

It is Wofford's first top-five finish of the 2022 fall season and first since a second-place mark in the SoCon Championships this past spring. Wofford has finished in the top five in now three of its last four tournaments.
