BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. - The Wake Forest women's golf team finished 11th at the Lady Gamecock Classic, after the final round of play was canceled due to rain. The shortened 36-hole event was played at the 5,996-yard, par-72, University Club in Blythewood, SC.
The Demon Deacons recorded a team round of 321 on Saturday and finished at 316-321=637. That score put them well off the pace of team champion Duke, which finished at 5-over-par, 287-294=581. The Blue Devils' Jenny Chuasiriporn carded a 2-under-par 70 on Saturday and captured individual medalist honors as she finished at 8-under-par, 66-70=136
Sophomore Marta Prieto (Sevilla, Spain) led the Deacon individuals in the event after she carded a 77 on Saturday to stand at 12-over-par, 79-77=156, and finish among four players in 24th place. Right behind Prieto was junior Kelly Kirwin (Grand Rapids, MN), who was one of 11 players tied for 28th place at 79-78=157. Senior Kristen Wagner (Martinsville, IN) finished only one shot behind Kirwin in a three-way tie for 39th place at 78-80=158. Rounding out the Deacon contingent in the field was freshman Nicole Faniola (Old Lyme, CT), who tied for 60th place at 80-86=166. The final Wake Forest competitor, freshman Katie Brenny (Little Falls, MN), withdrew in the first round of play.
The Demon Deacons will be back in action next weekend when they compete in the Bryan National Collegiate at the Bryan Park Champions Golf Course in Browns Summit, NC. Wake Forest will be co-hosting the event with UNC Greensboro.
