4/15/2023 4:09:00 PM | Women's Golf
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Wake Forest women's golf team battled through five matches against the Virginia Cavaliers, three matches to two.
Graduate Emilia Migliaccio and senior Rachel Kuehn each clinched their points on the 16 th green to win their matches, up three with two holes left. Senior Lauren Walsh fought back after being down three to ACC individual champion Amanda Sambach and went to the 18-tee box down one with one hole to go.
Junior Mimi Rhodes went into the final hole all tied through 17 holes. She dialed in and finished with an up-and-down putt in for par, but Virginia's Propeck sunk a five-foot putt for birdie to win the hole and win the match.
The team match was tied two-two with Carolina Chacarra down one stepping into the 18-tee box. She hit her third shot from the left-side bunker to a foot from the pin and birdied the par-five to half the hole and drop the match one down.

Coach's Comments
"First off, thank you to Greensboro and Sedgefield Country Club. The course was in great condition and the tournament was very well organized. The ACC always does a great job with our Championship every year.
Today was not the outcome we wanted, but we played well and fought until the end. The putts just didn't go our way. We had so many fans out here cheering us on, and we really appreciate all the support. We have a lot left and are looking forward to Regionals and NCAA Championships to finish out the year the right way. We're going to get back home and get some rest then get back to work next week. Go Deacs!"
