The season is over the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s golf team.
And so is the career of senior Katie Taylor, who has been a part of the team since Lady Mocs first swatted Titleists from tees in the 2007 fall semester.
UTC finished 18th Saturday at the NCAA East Regional at Ironwood Country Club in Greenville, N.C. The Lady Mocs shot 28 over par in the final round and finished the tournament at 46 over.
“I’m obviously disappointed, but … to hold in there as long as we did is pretty good,” UTC coach Colette Murray said. “Our main goal for the season was to win the Southern Conference and we did that. We can’t be too disappointed.”
South Carolina won the regional with a total score of even-par 864. Tennessee, led by Erica Popson’s 3-under tournament, was two shots back in second place. Duke and Auburn tied for third at 4 over, and Vanderbilt finished fifth. Tulane, Pepperdine and Texas Christian also advanced to the NCAA championships.
