Hokie ClubThe Virginia Tech women's golf team will compete in the 2018 ACC Women's Golf Championship this weekend. The three-day event will be played at the par 72, 6,122-yard East Course at the Grandover Resort and Conference Center in Greensboro, North Carolina on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
The Hokies enter the event ranked 56th in both the Golfstat.com rankings and the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. Tech is the 11th seed in the tournament.
The Hokies' starting five is Elizabeth Bose, a junior from Norfolk, Virginia, Amanda Hollandsworth, a redshirt junior from Floyd, Virginia, Emily Mahar, a freshman from Brisbane, Australia, Jessica Spicer, a sophomore from Bahama, North Carolina and Allison Woodward, a redshirt junior from Unicoi, Tennessee.
This is the Hokies' third appearance in the tournament. Tech finished 12th in the event in 2016 and finished 11th last season, when the tournament was played at the Reserve Golf Club in Pawley's Island, South Carolina. Bose finished 21st in last year's event.
Tech will begin play Saturday morning at 9 a.m. from the 10th tee. The Hokies are grouped with Notre Dame and Boston College.
The event was originally scheduled to be played Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, but course conditions forced the championship to be moved to Grandover. This is the fourth time that the ACC Women's Golf Championship, now in its 30th year, has been contested on the East Course and the first time since 1999.
