“The NEC Championship is a great place for us to come down and compete against some great schools,” said junior Abby Zambruno.
“The course, while challenging, had some advantages to it and some very scoreable holes.”
Zambruno posted back-to-back 89s over the first two days of the championship before bouncing back with an 81 in her final round.
Her scorecard included three birdies and 21 pars.
“The team fought hard and I am proud of the team we have become this year,” said Zambruno.
