ODU wins C-USA women's golf title, nets first-ever NCAA tournament spot

Old Dominion claimed the first conference women's golf title in school history, capturing the Conference USA Championship Wednesday at the Verandah Club.

Maggie Simmermacher and Katerina Vlasinova made the All-Tournament team, finishing second and tied for fourth, respectively, in the 55-golfer field.

The win, under first-year coach Mallory Hetzel, gives the Monarchs the league's automatic bid to the NCAA DI Championships, the first in the school's 15-year history of women's golf.

ODU was second after two rounds, trailing Middle Tennessee by four strokes, but the Monarchs shot 1-over on the final day of competition while the Blue Raiders were 13-over and finished eight back.
