Riding momentum from a historic 2022-23 regular season, the Western Carolina women's golf team heads to coastal South Carolina for the 2023 Southern Conference Women's Golf Championship looking to add an exclamation point to an unprecedented year in the program's history.
Play at the champion-crowning event opens on Sunday, April 16, at the par-72, 6,036-yard Moss Creek Golf Club on the Devil's Elbow South course in Hilton Head Island, S.C. The 54-hole championship event will be played over three days, April 16-18, with 18 holes slated for each day. Live scoring through GolfStat will be available online through a link at CatamountSports.com.
The league's nine teams – The Citadel, ETSU, Furman, Mercer, UNCG, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina, and Wofford – compete for the SoCon tournament title and the automatic bid to the NCAA regional field. The individual medalist will also earn an automatic regional qualification if not on the championship-winning team.
Western Carolina's historic season features a SoCon-best nine Top 10 finishes that includes seven podium results with four team championships, two runner-up finishes, and a third place. WCU is among four teams in the league to have scored a team championship – and one of just two with multiple team titles as Mercer claimed two. Collectively, the Catamounts lead the SoCon in team scoring with a stroke average of 294.54 over 24 total rounds.
