Rock Hill, S.C. – Winthrop head women's golf coach
Kasay Gambrell announced the team's fall schedule that will feature four events.
The Eagles will play three of their four events in the Palmetto State with the fourth even just across the border in North Carolina. The 2020 fall schedule was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the Eagles will be more than eager for fall competition.
Winthrop has six returnees and two newcomers that will compete in the 2021-22 season. The team is led by senior
Sarah Funderburg and sophomore
Valentine Savioz. Also returning is senior
Sabrina Fonda, junior's
Makenna Brindley and
Allison Wheeler, as well as sophomore
Regan Clifford. The two newcomers are
Kate Hanni and Emilie Marie Marceliussen.
The spring schedule will be announced later in the fall. The Big South Conference Championship is scheduled for Apr. 13-15 (stroke play) and Apr. 16 (match play). The championship returns to The Patriot Golf Club at Grand Harbor in Ninety Six, S.C.
