October 26, 2021 | Women's Golf
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. āĀ The East Carolina women's golf team concluded its 2021 fall season with an 11th-place finish at the Palmetto Intercollegiate on Tuesday.
North Florida posted an 8-under-par team score of 856 to win the tournament by 11 shots over South Florida who finished second at 3-over 867. Sam Houston finished third at 6-over 870 followed by College of Charleston (+8) and Xavier (+15) in fourth and fifth respectively.
"We fell short as a group this fall, but I am encouraged with what this team can become," Pirate head coach CC Buford said. "We showed flashes, but could not put it all together over the course of a multi-day tournament. We have a lot of work to do, but I'm excited to see the talent of these girls rise up this spring."
Julie Boysen Hillestad posted her second top 10 finish of the season, tying for 10th at par-216. She opened the tournament with a season-low round of 5-under 67 before firing a 74 and 75 in the next two rounds. She has five top 10 finishes in nine events played in the last calendar year.
Kathryn Carson posted an 8-over 224 (72-77-75) to tie for 37th. Caroline Hermes finished at 14-over 230 (78-74-78) with Andrea Miralles Llopis (74-80-77) and Riley Hamilton each carding a 15-over 231 (73-79-79).
ECU finished the fall season with one win and a third place in its four fall events. The spring season begins Feb. 14, 2022 at the San Jose Intercollegiate in Jacksonville, Fla.
