HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Senior Annabelle Ackroyd earned her second runner-up and fourth top-six result of the season on Sunday at the Low Country Intercollegiate, helping the Elon University women's golf team finish alone in third place. Wofford hosted the tournament at the par-72, 6,009-yard Moss Creek Golf Club in Hilton Head Island, S.C.

The event was shortened from 54 to 36 holes, as Saturday's second round was canceled due to inclement weather and poor course conditions,. 
 
Elon carded a 36-hole score of 629 to earn its fourth top-three result of the season. Quinnipiac won the tournament with a 43-over par 619 and UNC Asheville came in second with a 44-over 620. Quinnipiac's 14-over 302 in the final round was the lowest score of the weekend by four shots.
