Tournament: UCF Challenge
Location: Orlando, Fla.
Course: Eagle Creek Golf Club
ECU Finish: 10th of 16 teams (291-279-291=861, 3-under par)
Top ECU Individual: Dorthea Forbrigd (t20th, 71-67-76=214)
ORLANDO, Fla. – Junior Dorthea Forbrigd (71-67-76) shot a 2-under par score of 214 at the UCF Challenge leading the ECU women's golf team to a 10th place finish. The three-day, 54-hole event was being held at the par 72, 6,349-yard Eagle Creek Golf Club.
The Pirates (31-35) opened their spring schedule posting a 3-under par 861 (291-279-291) finishing ahead of three Top 50 teams (No. 18 Illinois, No. 36 College of Charleston and No. 49 SMU). The three-day total is tied for the fifth-lowest in program history, while their second round score of 279 is tied for fourth-lowest round. Sixth-ranked Vanderbilt claimed the team title with a score of 841 (23-under), while 10th-ranked Kent State and No. 27 Miami (Fla.) took a share of second place with a score of 84 (15-under).
"I saw a lot of really good things in the first tournament of the spring," ECU Head Coach Kevin Williams said. "We came into the event as the 13th-highest ranked team in the field and finished in the Top 10. The team was able to pick up wins over three American Athletic Conference programs, as well as three Top 50 schools including No. 10 Illinois. There are a lot of positives to build off of this week and we look forward to getting back out on the course next weekend in Puerto Rico."
With her 20th place finish (tie), Forbrigd posted her 16th career Top 20 placement and third of the season. Sophomore Kathryn Carson finished tied for 26th with an even par 216 (71-72-73), while senior Kate Law posted a one-over par 217 (76-68-73) which was good enough for a share of 33rd. Rounding out the Pirates lineup were senior Carley Cox (73-74-72=219, t49th) and junior Siranon Shoomee (76-72-73=221, t63rd).
