Cullowhee, N.C. - The Western Carolina women's golf team shot 336 through each of the first two days, finishing with a 341 team round to finish 18th at the spring season-opening Pinehurst Challenge. The event was held at the Pinehurst Challenge at the 6,009-yard Pinehurst #8 in Pinehurst, N.C.

The teams played through conditions on Tuesday that were less than ideal, battling sustained winds of 30 mph.

The Catamounts, without two-time All-Southern Conference performer Brandy Andersen due to a hand injury, were led by junior Ashley Hovda who finished with a three-day total of 243 to place in a tie for 45th. She carded the teams' lowest round in the three days shooting 78 on Monday.

Freshman Lucinda Davies, who finished the first day tied with Hovda with an 83, fell into a tie for 88th with classmate Kandy Carland, each carding 263 for the event. Sophomore Bianca Melone, however, improved on her opening 86 by firing an 82 on Monday and an 85 in the final round to move into a tie for 76th overall at 253.

Western Carolina will next be in action when it travels to Citrus Springs, Fla., for the Lady Herd/El Diablo Intercollegiate on March 21 and 22
