MM 5.12: Maryland women’s golf’s season ends in NCAA Regionals

Maryland women’s golf saw its season end in the Athens Regional Wednesday, as it fell just three shots short of qualifying to the next round.

Maryland women’s golf’s season came to a close in the NCAA Regionals in Athens, Georgia on Wednesday.

“I am disappointed in the outcome but proud of the fight they showed,” head coach Kelly Hovland said. “We dug ourselves a hole early in the round, and despite a one-under back nine, we couldn’t get back inside the cut line.”

The Terps finished in seventh place out of 12 teams, but were led behind a fantastic performance from senior Angela Garvin. She posted a three-day score of 214 (-2), good enough for a seventh-place individual performance.

Her showing was the best mark in a regional by a Terp since Virunpat Olankitkunchai also shot 214 in 2019.

“Angela carried us today and had a gutsy performance to keep us in the hunt,” Hovland added. “She played her final round as a Terp with so much Maryland Pride, and I will forever be grateful for what she has done for our program!”

As a team, Maryland shot 888 (+24) in the team’s first regional appearance under Hovland.
