CHARLESTON, S.C. - The University of Richmond women's golf team completed the best tournament in its two-year history this afternoon, carding a three-round 969 (326-321-322) and finishing 15th at the inaugural Cougar Classic in Charleston, S.C.

Brown followed her 74 and 81 with a third-round 82 to finish her first collegiate event at 237, tied for 48th.
Sophomores Whitney McComis (88-81-84-253/80th), Lauren Ritter (88-85-82-255/T-82nd) and Elizabeth Cushing (84-90-82-256/T-84th) also competed in Richmond's first tournament of the fall.
