By Chris D’Auria | Staff writer

The end of the fall season could not come any sweeter for Wake Forest’s female version of Tiger Woods, for this past weekend the women’s golf team was able to capture the Landfall Tradition title in Wilmington, N.C., their first team title since 2004.

Another major accomplishment occurred during this tournament for junior Nannette Hill who was able to gain first place laurels with a three-day score of 75-66-76. This is Hill’s first ever tournament victory and the team’s first individual win at a 54-hole tournament since 2002. Also contributing to the team’s victory were freshman Allie Bodeman, who finished fourth overall with a three day score of 74-72-73, and senior Laura Crawford who finished seventh overall with a three day score of 69-72-79.

Other notable scores were registered by freshman Natalie Sheary, who finished in 12th place with a 7-over 223, and senior Jordan Craig, who tied for 34th place with a score of 19-235. The Lady Deacs will not return to action until February when the Deacs travel to Palos Verdes, Calif.
