HILTON HEAD, S.C. - The UNC Asheville women's golf team saw history made on the final day of the Low Country Intercollegiate at Moss Creek Golf Club on Sunday (Mar. 19), with junior Madyson Gold winning the program's first ever individual tournament title. As a team, the Bulldogs finished in second place one shot behind tournament champion Quinnipiac.
The Bulldog shot 620 as a team, improving from Friday's opening round by two strokes to turn in a 309 on the day. Tournament champion Quinnipiac turned in a 317 on Friday and a 302 today to capture the title.

Gold began her day with five consecutive pars, before making bogey on No. 6 and birdie on No. 7 to remain even. She would make the turn to the back after pars on No. 8 and No. 9 to stay even on the front. She began the back nine with a par on No. 10, before making bogey on No. 11 and back-to-back pars on No. 12 and No. 13.

After a par on No. 4, Carles shot back-to-back bogeys on No. 5 and No. 6 before shooting par on No. 7 and No. 8. She would make the turn after a bogey on No. 9, shooting par on the back on No. 10 through No. 16. Carles concluded her day with bogeys on No. 17 and No. 18.
