WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University women's golf team recorded the best team round in program history en route to a fifth-place finish at the Evie Odom Invitational, hosted by Old Dominion University. Wrapping up play on Saturday, the Hoyas carded a 16-over 856 (287-276-293) on the par-70, 5,800-yard course at the Princess Anne Golf Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The 14-team field weathered an amended schedule that had the teams play 36 holes on Friday and the remaining 18 on Saturday.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Sunny Wang finished third with her personal-best 5-under 205 (70-66-69). Over three rounds, she managed 10 (3-4-3) birdies and 39 (12/14/13) pars.
• Carol Yan tied for 29th at 7-over 217 (71-69-77). She managed 10 (5/4/1) birdies and 30 (8/11/11) pars over three rounds.
• Mahreen Bhatia shot up nine spots over the final 18 holes to tie for 35th at 9-over 219 (71-75-73). Across 54 holes, she tallied four (0/1/3) birdies and 41 (17/14/10) pars.
• Also tying for 35th was Catherine Qiu at 9-over 219 (75-69-75). She recorded five (1/3/1) birdies and 37 (13/13/11) pars over two days.
• Mimi Burton tied for 51st at 13-over 223 (75-72-76). She tallied six (0/3/3) birdies and 33 (14/11/8) pars across the three rounds.
• Gabriella Eifrig, competing as an individual, finished 36-over 246 (71-85-90) to finish in 80th place. Through 54 holes, the junior recorded three (2/1/0) birdies to go along with 27 (13/7/7) pars.

 
OF NOTE

• The 4-under 276 in round two was the best team round in Hoya history, besting 3-under 285 (played on a par-72 course) that the Blue & Gray recorded three previous times: 2023 BIG EAST Championship (2nd round), 2023 UNCG Collegiate (3rd round), 2016 Ron Moore Intercollegiate (3rd round).
• The 16-over 856 is the third-best 54-hole team score in Georgetown history. The score bests a pair of 17-over pars in the 2023 UNCG Collegiate (17-over 881) and the 2023 Atlantic Invitational (17-over 869).
• Wang's 4-under is a personal best for the sophomore and ties for sixth-best in program history for an individual 18-hole performance. She is one stroke behind a quintet of Hoyas who have carded a 5-under and is tied with seven other GU performances.
• Her 5-under 205 ties for the third-best 54-hole individual performance in school history, sitting behind a 9-under and 7-under performance.
