Kent State women’s golf tied for fifth place May 23 at the NCAA Championship in Sugar Grove, Illinois, after a 3-2 loss to top-seeded Northwestern University — the best all-time finish for the women’s team, topping its previous best finish of 15th place.
“It was definitely our team goal to be the top team in the field,” said senior Wad Phaewchimplee. “I was very happy that we made it that far because it was the best finish we ever did as a team at the NCAA Championship.”
The women advanced to the quarterfinals on May 22 after securing the eighth seed in match play of the NCAA Championship, the first time since 2010.
