Led by sophomore Rachel Smith, the Virginia women's golf team produced a strong showing at this week's Cougar Classic tournament in Hanahan, S.C.
The Cavaliers finished fourth in the 16-team contest won by Louisiana State University and placed highest among the six ACC schools that participated.
Smith shot a career-low score of 68 (-4) in the competition's final round. Her overall mark of 212 (-4) was the best in the tournament, making her the first player in Virginia women's golf history to win an individual title.
Smith's teammate, sophomore Leah Wigger, compiled the third-best individual score, a 2-under-par 214.
The Cavaliers will next compete at the Mason Rudolph Classic in Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 1-3.
