ECU Travels South To River Landing

GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's golf team continues its spring schedule Monday heading to Wallace, N.C. to participate in the River Landing Classic. The two-day, 54-hole event is being held at the par-72, 5,960-yard Landing Course.

The Pirates, who finished seventh at the Palmetto Intercollegiate, will be joined in the 13-team field with Charleston Southern, Coastal Carolina, East Tennessee State, Elon, Florida Atlantic, High Point, James Madison, Marshall, N.C. A&T, Richmond, Rutgers and host UNCW.

Second-year head coach CC Buford will us a lineup consisting of 2019 All-American Athletic Conference honorees Kathryn Carson (senior) and Dorthea Forbrigd (senior), along with Michelle Forsland (senior), Julie Boysen Hillestad (junior) and Oda Sofie Kilsti (sophomore).
