VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. –The East Carolina women's golf team finished in 13th place at the Evie Odom Invitational on Tuesday at the Par-70, 5,824-yard Princess Ann Country Club.
The Pirates finished with a three-round score of 903 after posting its best round of the tournament this afternoon, 289 after opening with a 314 Sunday and then recording a 300 Monday.
"We haven't been at full strength since our first tournament and I thought this week that lack of rhythm really caught up to us," Pirate head coach CC Buford said. "This was a demanding course, with some of the best teams and players in our region. Sunday we let the fear of a tough golf course dictate our play instead of trusting in our talent and determination to navigate adversity."
Redshirt freshman Riley Hamilton (74-73-75) and true freshman Macie Burcham (81-69-72) led ECU as they finished tied for 47th with a three-round score of 12-over 222. Burcham recorded the first under-par round of her career Monday, carding a 1-under 69. She was the lone Pirate to shoot under par in any round during the event.
Fifth-year senior Kathryn Carson finished two strokes behind her teammates, tied for 55th at 14-over 224 (79-72-73).
Freshman Andrea Miralles Llopis posted a three-day score of 19-over 229 (84-74-71), while senior Julie Boysen Hillestad fired a 23-over 233 (79-81-73) in her first action since the opening week of the season. Junior Caroline Hermes rounded the Pirates lineup at 26-over 236 (82-82-72).
"I was proud of the way the girls fought after the rough start and I believe this experience - especially for our newcomers - was important to see and understand the standard of competition we will see in the spring," Buford stated. "We are continuing to learn and I am really excited about this team and what I think we can accomplish."
UCF took home the team title with a three-round tally of 1-over-par 841 led by Tunrada Piddon, who captured individual medalist honors with a score of 10-under 200 (67-66-67).
East Carolina will close out its fall season at the Palmetto Intercollegiate, which will be held at the Kiawah Island Resort in South Carolina, Oct. 25-26.
