Action tees off in Athens, Georgia on Friday
ATHENS, GEORGIA - The College of Charleston women's golf squad is headed to Athens, Ga. this weekend to compete in the 50th annual Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, hosted by the University of Georgia. The three day event will be played from Friday, March 25 to Sunday, March 27 at the UGA Golf Course. Tee times start at 8:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 8:00 a.m. on Sunday.
"This will be our biggest test of the year," head coach Jamie Futrell said. "We are playing in the toughest field of the year on a tough golf course. Our team comes in playing well and we look forward to the challenge."
The highly competitive field consists of 8 Top-25 teams headlined by No. 3 Wake Forest and No. 4 South Carolina, as well as Alabama, Arkansas, CofC, Louisville, Houston, Georgia Southern, Texas A&M, Georgia, Mercer, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Southern California, and Texas.
The Cougars are currently ranked No. 59 nationally, higher than any CAA team. Charleston enters the tournament after a 3rd place finish at the Briar's Creek Invitational led by freshman Emma Schimpf's T-2 finish. The rookie standout earned CAA Golfer of the Week honors after her fourth Top-7 finish in her young career, firing a 3-under 69 in the final round. She'll be joined in the lineup by freshman MK Talledo, decorated sophomore Viktoria Hund, veteran Jodee Tindal and Emily Dunlap, who makes her first start since the Palmetto Intercollegiate in October. Additionally, CofC's Smith Knaffle will compete as an individual at the tournament.
