Despite light sleet and near constant rainfall during the weekend, the Virginia women’s golf team finished in fifth place at the three-day Bryan National Collegiate in Browns Summitt, N.C. The Cavaliers, who won last year’s event, climbed five spots in the final day to complete a 54-hole total of 45-over 909.
Virginia boasted a solid all-around performance, with four players ending up in the top 50 of the 18-team tournament. Leading the way for the Cavaliers was junior Briana Mao, whose 1-over 73 Sunday earned her a 19th place-finish, with a three-day total of 10-over 226. Senior Portland Rosen got off to a hot start, tied for first at the end of the opening day with a 2-under 70 before settling back to finish at 50th.
Entering the weekend ranked No. 31 by Golfstat, Virginia is poised to move up in the polls following its solid performance. The Cavaliers finished better than seven of the teams above them in the latest rankings, including ACC foes No. 13 Clemson, No. 23 NC State and No. 27 North Carolina. The winning score for the tournament was posted by third-ranked Duke at 18-over 882.
This was the last regular season tournament for Virginia before the ACC Championships, which begin April 17 in Greensboro, N.C. At the 2013 competition, the Cavaliers finished third behind Duke and NC State, with then-senior Brittany Altomare becoming the first player in Virginia program history to claim the ACC Women’s Golf individual title.
