Greensboro, N.C. (www.ucfathletics.com) - UCF's freshmen continue to provide impressive rounds for the women's golf team this season, and Sunday it was Sara Hurwitch (Potomac Falls, Va.) who provided the spark. The Golden Knight carded her second-straight one-over 73 to finish in a tie for sixth at the Lady Pirate Invitational hosted by East Carolina. Overall, UCF tied for fourth with East Tennessee State (out of 20 programs) with an 889 (+25).
With a fourth-place finish, UCF recorded its best showing of the fall. Hurwitch's sixth place also was the top individual performance by a Golden Knight in 2006-07 as she fired rounds of 74, 73 and 73 for a 220 (+4).
Birmingham Southern claimed the team title with an 880 (+16), which was aided by Sara Hunt's 216 (E). Hunt and East Tennessee State's Laura Jansone tied for medalist honors after each shot a one-under 71 in the final round.
For UCF, senior Kristy McLaughlin (Wasaga Beach, Ont.) improved her score each day of the event, capping it off by shooting a career low as a Golden Knight with a one-over 73 on the final day of action. Sophomore Mayule Tomimbang (Kissimmee, Fla./Gateway) posted a two-over 74 Sunday as the duo tied for 22nd with identical 224 totals (+8). Freshman Victoria Tomko (Lontzen, Belgium) was right behind her teammates, placing in a tie for 24th with a 225 (+9).
