As for the 54-hole total, it marks the third-lowest team 54-hole total in program history (900, +36).

Hailey Pendleton turned in an 80 in the final round, while Ally Kerr also shot an 83.

Gold opened her final round with a bogey on No. 13, before putting together three straight pars making the turn with a birdie on No. 17 and a par on No. 18. After back-to-back birdies on No. 1 and No. 2, Gold made par on No. 3 and bogey on No. 4 before making par on the next three holes. She would birdie No. 8 and No. 9 before notching her third straight birdie on No. 10, finishing her round with a bogey on No. 11 and a par on No. 12.

Carles began her final round with a string of five straight pars on the back (No. 14-18), before turning to the front and starting with a birdie on No. 1. Carles rattled off six straight pars, before turning back with birdies on No. 8 and No. 9. Her turn to the back began with a bogey on No. 10, before she made par on No. 11 and No. 12 before finishing her round with a birdie on No. 13.

Pickron's day began on No. 18 with seven straight pars, before notching a bogey on No. 7 and making par on No. 8 and No. 9. She began the back nine with a par on No. 10 and a birdie on No. 11, before making par on the next four holes and finishing her round with two straight bogeys.

"There are some great positives to take from this event," said head coach Ross Cash. "Today at one point we were five or six under as a team and had the second lowest team round on the golf course in an absolutely stacked field. I couldn't be happier for Mady and Phoebe and Beryl, they are warriors and really are starting to buy into how good they really are. This is a glimpse of how great we can be as a team. Time to get home and regroup and capitalize on the positives and play great at the French Broad Collegiate Invitational."

The Bulldogs are back in action next week (Oct. 30-31) to host the French Broad Collegiate Invitational at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. Play begins Monday with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start.
