NC State to Compete in ACC Women's Golf Championship Apr. 18-21
RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State women's golf wrapped up its regular-season slate on Tuesday afternoon as the Pack concluded the Wolfpack Match Play in sixth place, picking up a head-to-head win over Princeton during Monday's afternoon session.
The two-day, 54-hole event was highlighted by NC State's Lauren Olivares Leon claiming three match play victories to sport a perfect 3-0 record, while North Carolina took the team title in a 3-2 win over Virginia Tech in the championship match.
The Wolfpack's week started with a first-round matchup against the Hokies, the tournament's eventual runner-up. Virginia Tech advanced on a 3-1-1 decision, where Olivares Leon took NC State's lone victory in a 4&2 win over Emily Mathews.
The loss to the Hokies pushed the Wolfpack into a Monday-afternoon tilt with eighth-seeded Princeton, who NC State defeated 4-1.
Alongside Olivares Leon, who defeated the Tigers' Julia Kashimura 7&5, Vania Simont, Caitlin Whitehead and Isabel Amezcua each picked up decisive wins for the Pack, with Simony closing out Flora Zhang 4&3, Whitehead defeating Caris Kim 2&1 and Amezcua knocking off Yanjun Liu 3&2.
NC State faced Augusta in the fifth-place match, with the Wolfpack falling 3-2 as Simont and Olivares Leon each added wins to their match play résumés.
Simont defeated Kennedy Carroll 3&2 while Olivares Leon clipped Victoria Zheng 2UP.
The Wolfpack will return to action on Thursday, Apr. 18, at Porters Neck Country Club in Wilmington, N.C., for the ACC Women's Golf Championship. The Pack will compete in 54 holes of stroke play action in the first two days of the tournament, with the top four finishers then advancing to match play on the weekend.
