WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The Elon University women's golf team won the William & Mary Fall Invitational on Tuesday, Sept. 13, while five Phoenix players placed in the top 20 of the individual standings. William & Mary hosted the event at the par-72, 6,167-yard Kingsmill Resort River Course.
 
The Phoenix posted the lowest round of the Invitational's final day with a combined score of 289 (+1). The effort helped the Phoenix finish in a tie atop the team standings with Richmond, who began the day two strokes ahead of the maroon and gold. Elon then defeated Richmond in a playoff to earn the team title.
 
"The girls played great today," head coach Chris Dockrill said. "Annabelle had a good score with 68. The playoff was awesome with Ashley topping it off with an eagle. It was a great first tournament, looking forward to the rest of the season."
