Senior claimed individual title at UNCW Lady Seahawk Classic

SPARTANBURG, S.C. ? Elon senior Danielle Mills has been named the Southern Conference women’s golfer of the week for all competition from March 18-24.

Mills forged a four-over-par, final-round 76 to claim medalist honors in the 72-player field at the ninth annual UNCW Lady Seahawk Classic women’s golf tournament Tuesday afternoon on the 6,165-yard River Landing Golf Club course. Paced by the performance of Mills (first place/72-68-76?216), the Phoenix (305-295-309?909) earned a runner-up finish. Mills’ two-round score of 140 Monday matched a six-year-old tournament record.

The golfer of the week is selected by a vote of the league’s women’s golf sports information directors.

Other top performers this week were Furman’s Blair Lamb and Wofford’s Meredith Few.
