GREENSBORO, N.C. – –
Sophomore carded a 79 to lead the University of Miami on day one at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships Friday at the Sedgefield Country Club. Sedgefield, the site where the Atlantic Coast Conference was founded in May of 1953, is hosting its first women’s championship.
Wake Forest leads after the first 18 holes posting a 286. The Demon Deacons sit two-over for the championship, which is nine strokes better than second place Virginia (295). North Carolina (300), NC State (302) and Duke (309) finish out the top five. Miami is ninth competing with just four players after sophomore did not make the trip due to illness.
