NINETY SIX, S.C. — The Catawba College women's golf team chalked up a new 54-hole tournament record en route to an eighth-place finish in a loaded field at the Grand Harbor Classic as proceedings closed on Tuesday.

Catawba fired the program's first-ever sub-900 score in a three-round event, registering a 27-over-par 891 capped by Tuesday's seven-over 295. The blue and white landed 10 strokes behind fifth-place No. 3 Anderson while owning a 17-stroke advantage over next-best finisher UMSL.

With a below-par final team score, No. 1 Wingate won the Grand Harbor Classic behind top-ranked player Amely Bochaton's seven-under 209. Bochaton tied with Lee's Hannah Nall atop the individual leaderboard and prevailed in a playoff.
