Women's Golf notches highest finish at SAC Championships since 2019

Justin Hay and graduate assistant Yui Srichantamit, the Lenoir-Rhyne Women’s Golf Team took fourth at the SAC Championships, their highest finish since taking second in 2019. The Bears shot rounds of 304-298 to finish with a two-round total of 602 (+26). Their second round score of 298 (+10) was the third lowest on the day and helped them jump four spots in the standings. 

Originally scheduled to be a 54-hole tournament, a large rainstorm on Monday forced round two to be canceled. 

Leading the way individually for the Bears was Eve Neild, who tied for seventh with a two-round score of 147 (+3). She shot 2-under on her final 10 holes to pick up an even-par 72 in her final round. She is the highest finishing Bear since Beatriz Espelosin tied for seventh in 2021. Tying for 21st with scores of 152 (+8) were Marta Escudero Cano and Jaya Wilkinson. Not far behind them was Charlotte Colley, who took 25th with a 154 (+10). Both Colley and Escudero Cano shot final rounds of 75. Rounding out the field for the Bears was Hickory native Sarah Durham, who shot rounds of 81-76 to finish with a 157 (+13), good for a tie for 27th. With 60 golfers competing, all five Bears finished in the top-half of the standings.

As a team the Bears ranked third in Par 3s (3.20, +8), fourth in Par 4s (4.26, +26), and sixth in Par 5s (5.20, +8). They finished with 21 birdies and 108 pars. Individually Eve Neild was fourth in Par 4 scoring (4.00, E) and seventh in Par 5s (4.88, -1). Neild, Escudero Cano, and Wilkinson tied for seventh in the tournament with five birdies each.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – In their first appearance in the MAAC Water Polo Semifinal since 2005, Villanova was outlasted by the host institution, Marist University, by a score of 9-5.

Anna Painter scored two goals in the contest, totaling four goals across the tournament.

Marist struck twice to start the game, with Riley Hull answering back with 5:20 remaining in the first to start the scoring for VU.

Adrienne Grimes scored to knot things up four minutes later, tallying her second goal in as many days while tying her career high for goals in a season with 13.

Kendell De Beer and Lela McCarroll of the Red Foxes cashed in on four of the next five goals in the match, with Layla Canales adding one with 1:21 left in the first half, to enter intermission with Marist leading 6-4.

The home team scored quickly to open the third stanza, with Painter answering two minutes later.

That goal would be the final one that the Wildcats would score in the event, as Inés Sánchez and the Marist defense held VU scoreless for the final 11:02.

Rachel Stephens stopped 11 shots in net for the second game in a row. The freshman made 22 saves while only allowing 15 goals during the tournament, good for a .594% save percentage across the two games.

Ella Mattocks drew five exclusions and had a career-high two assists.

SENIORS

Amelia Baca, Emma Grabenstetter, Adrienne Grimes, and Emily McKenzie end their careers as the winningest players in program history, being part of 75 wins over their four years with the program.

McKenzie finishes her career 10th in program history in goals, with 181.

LOOKING AHEAD

Head coach Michael Gordon has inked four signees over the season, one at each attacker, center, utility, and goalie.
