VASS, N.C. — The Queens University of Charlotte women's golf team was able to hold on to the number one spot after playing so well yesterday in the Conference Carolinas Championships. Though adding 13 strokes on day two, the Royals' 312 on day one proved to be plenty of cushion as they won by 11 strokes walking away with their first ever Conference Carolinas Championship title. Queens had four players finish in the top-10 earning all-tournament team honors, and the win is the second of the year for the Royals.
 
Mount Olive College (326-322—648) finished second, while Pfeiffer University (335-351—686) placed third.
 
Julia Wennerlund completed day two with a 158 after shooting an 82 to go with her 76 from day one. The senior finished second overall and was named to the all-tournament team.
 
Taking third place was Laura Belanger who fired a 79 and 81 for a two-round score of 160. Camilla Mallberg was one stroke behind Belanger in fourth place with a 161 (79-82). Both players were named to the all-tournament team.
 
Louise Sjoberg was the final Royal to make the all-tournament team after she carded a 163 (78-85). Mallory Ruhling finished just outside of the top-10 tied in 12^th after shaving nine strokes off her round one score for an 80 on day two. She finished with a 169 (89-80).
 
Tegan Skirpstas of Mount Olive took the Medalist Award after firing a 150 (74-76).
