Knights Finish Fifth at Century LinkSeptember 20, 2011 Goldsboro , NC – Nationally 16th-ranked UNC Pembroke started its season with a bang this week by capturing the team championship of the second annual CenturyLink Invitational at Lane Tree Golf Club. The Braves placed all five players in the top nine Tuesday in romping to a 21-stroke victory over runner-up Mount Olive College, which co-hosted the 36-hole event with Barton College. UNCP fired rounds of 312-320 for a 612 total and Mount Olive shot 323-330-653. Queens University of Charlotte (331-329-660), Belmont Abbey College (348-367-715) and St. Andrews (362-386-748) rounded out the five-team field on the par-72, 5,807-yard layout.
The teams played for nearly five hours in the rain. St. Andrews sophomore Sadiyya Gillespie (83-91/174) finished sixteenth and freshman Adrienne Whitfield (86-89/175) finished tied for seventeenth among the women competitors. Rounding out the St. Andrews scoring was Morgan Clay (92-93/185) and Christina Agosto (101-113/214) who battled the inclement weather. Mount Olive ’s Valentina Urquiola seized medalist honors with back-to-back rounds of 75 for a total of 6-over 150. Teammate Emelie Andersson took second at 75-78-153.
