KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. - Senior Anne Sprick finished 31st to lead the Richmond women's golf team to a 15th-place finish at the Palmetto Intercollegiate on Tuesday at Oak Point Golf Club.

Freshman Courtney Rousse shot a career-low 74 in Tuesday's final round to finish in a tie for 48th at 232. Rousse had shot a 77 in the opening round and an 81 in the second round.
Senior Lauren Folgosa tied for 67th at 236 (79-78-79) and freshman Tracy Martin tied for 76th at 239 (79-82-78). Freshman Caroline Lovette finished 84th at 243 (83-80-80).
This was the last tournament of the fall for the Spiders.
