The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s golfers finished second out of 41 teams with Emily McLennan sharing the individual championship Tuesday in the Edwin Watts/Kiawah Island Spring Classic.

The Mocs matched their field-leading first round with a 5-under-par 283 in the third round to finish at 879, eight strokes behind Coastal Carolina and five ahead of third-place College of Charleston.

McLennan closed with a 6-under 67 for a 210 and the third medalist finish of her collegiate career. Teammate Cris Perez tied for 11th at 219 with a 69, and Megan Woods, Isabella Loza and Monica San Juan shot 225, 227 and 228.

“There’s nothing to complain about in the first and last rounds,” UTC coach Colette Murray said in a school release. “We just shot ourselves in the foot in the second (313). To shoot plus-25 in a round and finish second, we can’t complain about that.

“Emily was outstanding. She executed well. I’m really delighted to see her shooting the numbers she is capable of shooting consistently. Cris wasn’t hitting it her best, but she made it work. Really impressed with her play as well.”
