“We are really proud of Dori,” head coach Michele Drinkard said. “She battled some windy conditions today and came away with five birdies to finish fourth in a strong field of competitors.”
Unfortunately, Carter was alone at the top, as her teammates could not keep pace. The team finished 18th with a 306-311-308925. Sophomore Sara Grantham finished with a 78-78-81237, junior Rachel Ingram posted a 79-80-79238, freshman Jillian Brodd turned in a 77-81-83241 and Katherine Jones carded a 90-81-77248.
