After qualifying for the NCAA Championship for the second year in a row, the NC State women’s golf team battled to finish 22nd in the nation.

The tournament began May 22, but no member of the Wolfpack completed more than 15 holes in the first day due to inclement weather.

After the first day of action, NC State found itself tied for 10th, with 11 other teams still having yet to complete the first round.

Junior Rachael Taylor led the Pack with a score of +1 through 11 holes, tied for 13th among individuals. She ended the first round with a team-high score of 77.

The Wolfpack saw a sharp drop-off from the first day of action, ending the day ranked 23rd, just one shot ahead of 24th-place UC-Berkley.

Freshman Cecily Overbey led NC State with a score of 79 in the second round. Going into the final round, Taylor and Overbey were tied for 77th with an overall score of 157.

After a subpar second round, the Pack put in its best day of work in the final round, improving its score by 21 shots to finish with a score of 1,197. However, it wasn’t enough to make the final 15-team cut.

Taylor finished the tournament tied for 45th after a strong 73-point round. Senior Vivian Tsui also had a strong final round, scoring a 74 to finish tied for 83rd. Senior Lindsay McGetrick, sophomore Stephanie Pribonic and Overbey also had their best rounds, scoring 80, 79 and 76, respectively.
