DAHLONEGA, Ga. — The Catawba College women's golf team closed the LeeAnn Noble Memorial with a 14th-place finish in a power-packed field while recording the program's best against-par score in 54 holes.

Wingate pushed past Anderson on Day 2 behind electric third rounds by Olivia Meinecke and Amely Bochaton, whose performances landed them on the podium. Anderson's Olivia Pellerin turned in a third consecutive under-par round to lead the individual standings with a 206 (-10).

HIGHLIGHTS
- King springboarded up the standings by 10 spots with another 68, the tournament's second-best final round, to complete the first under-par score in 54 holes in Catawba women's golf history
- Kristinsdottir registered a back-nine 33 en route to a three-over-par 75 that helped lift her on the leaderboard by eight positions
- Waddell shot a third-round 78 to finish off her lowest career 54-hole tournament, topping her Eckerd Invitational performance by one stroke

- King shattered the 54-hole tournament record – which she set last season – with the first under-par score in a three-round event in Catawba history, breaking the previous low by a remarkable six strokes
- After her second-round 68 matched the second-best score in program history, King tied it again less than 24 hours later; she also ties the consecutive under-par rounds record (2) set by Kelsey Babos in 2009-10
- Catawba not only set the 54-hole against-par record (+52) by one shot, but its 916 team score goes down as the second-fewest total strokes in three-round tournament history
