UVA Women's Golf

The University of Virginia women's golf team is set to tee off in its first round of competitive play of the season this morning in South Carolina. The Cougar Classic, as the tournament is called, is hosted by the College of Charleston at the Yeamans Hall Club in Hanahan and will feature eight of the top-30 ranked teams in the country. 

In the line-up for UVA is third-year Lauren Diaz-Yi, redshirt fifth-year Lauren Coughlin, third-year Elizabeth Szokol and first-years Katharine Patrick and Morgan Gonzales. Playing in the individual spots are second-year Lyberty Anderson and first-year Anna Redding. 

The team made their way down to the coastal location on Friday afternoon from Birdwood Golf Course and arrived later that night. On Saturday, they took to the course for a team practice round followed by some individual practice. Although the Hoos have sent a young squad to play in their season-opening tournament, the non-traveling members at home in Charlottesville rest assured knowing that their team is more than capable of achieving great success this weekend. With the guidance of Coach Kim and Assistant Coach Calle, who begins her first full year with the team as of this event, the Hoos are set to start their year off right.
