ATHENS, Ga. - The Wake Forest women's golf team carded its second-straight round of 9-over 297 and finished in 12th place at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic on Sunday. The Deacons finished at 32-over for the event.
Freshman Allison Emrey closed-out her best tournament of the season with her lowest round of the year. She made four birdies in a round of even-par 72 and would finish in a tie for 23rd at 5-over par.
All-American Cheyenne Woods carded a final round 73 and finished the tournament in 12th place at 1-under par. That was her second under-par tournament of the year and the fifth of her career. The five under-par tournament are the most in school-history.

Alabama led wire-to-wire en route to claiming the team title at 10-under par. The Crimson Tide opened with a 10-under 278 on Friday and played even-par the rest of the way. Host Georgia finished second at 2-over par while Florida carded the lowest round of the day, a 5-under 283, to finish third at 3-over.
Jennifer Kirby of Alabama also led wire-to-wire and claimed medalist honors. She carded a tournament-record 6-under 66 in the opening round and was 1-under par over the final 36 holes to finish at 7-under par and one-shot ahead of Laura Gonzalez of Purdue.
