ECU women's golf remains optimistic amid canceled season

For East Carolina University's head women’s golf coach C.C. Buford, this season can only be described as unexpected, as the team went through a wild season with unpredictable situations.

“What a roller coaster,” Buford said. “From a hurricane affecting our first tournament, to COVID-19 bringing us to an abrupt end, unexpected is probably the best way to describe it.”

On March 15, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Athletic Conference announced the cancellation of all athletic competition and championships for the remainder of the academic year. Unfortunately, this ended the basketball tournaments that produced March Madness, the spring football game and practices, baseball and softball season, lacrosse, and also ended men’s and women’s golf.
