Three Demon Deacons finished inside the top 10.
New Providence, Bahamas - The No. 2 Wake Forest women's golf team has won its second team title of the spring and fourth of the 2022-23 season at the Nexus Collegiate, hosted by Auburn. The Deacs took the title by seven strokes.
Wake Forest led all teams in scoring on par fours and par fives and led the field in pars (169) and birdies (43).
Senior Lauren Walsh recorded her highest collegiate finish, coming in second place and one of just two players to finish under par for the event. The winner, Latanna Stone of LSU, finished six under while Walsh shot a one-under 215 for the event. Walsh had the steadiest final round for the Deacs, with just two bogeys and one birdie in addition to her 15 pars.
Rachel Kuehn finished in the top six for the event, coming in sixth place with a four-over 220. After going four over on her first nine holes of the day, the Asheville native was just one over on her final nine holes. Rounding out the Deacs in the top 10, Mimi Rhodes finished T7 just one stroke behind Kuehn. After making the turn at four over, Rhodes' final nine holes were highlighted by three birdies in row on holes 13, 14 and 15 to finish her round.
Emilia Migliaccio jumped 10 spots on the leaderboard in the final round and also birdied three holes in a row on her second nine holes, going three under over holes 14, 15 and 16. The veteran finished her round as the only Deac to shoot even par on the final day. Carolina Chaccara finished just one stroke behind Migliaccio on the leaderboard.
Playing as individuals, Caroline Smith finished 49th and freshman Anne-Sterre den Dunnen finished tied for 50th.
Coach's Comments
"We are thrilled to take home another team win. The competition was outstanding, and as you can see by the scores, the conditions of the course were difficult. The wind was gusting throughout the tournament, which made for tough conditions every day. We are thrilled for Lauren Walsh and her second-place finish. We are looking forward to getting home and having a few weeks to work on our game before the Darius at the end of the month.
We also want to thank our supporters of the program that made the trip with us. It made for a special week for our Wake Forest family. Go Deacs!" - head coach Kim Lewellen
