HIGH POINT, N.C.—

The High Point University women’s golf team opens its spring portion of the season Sunday through Tuesday (Feb. 25-27) at the Edwin Watts/Kiawah Island Spring Classic at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in Kiawah Island, S.C.
 
It is the largest collegiate golf tournament in the country, as the Panthers will be one of 42 teams competing over three rounds. The action begins at 8:45 each morning.
 
“We’re so excited to kick things off at Kiawah,” HPU head coach Alexis Bennett said. “It’s fun to go back to familiar places and gives us a great chance to see how we’ve improved since last year. The girls have prepared well and I’m expecting us to put together some good rounds at an event where we first broke the program scoring record last season.”
 
The Panthers won back-to-back tournaments, claiming the Terrier Intercollegiate two days after winning the Winthrop Invitational. It was the first time HPU won back-to-back team titles since the fall of 2013. Senior Cayla Smith earned the medalist honors at the Terrier Intercollegiate.
 
Smith will be joined on the traveling squad by sophomores Samantha Vodry, Tonrak Tasaso and Anna-Marie Kuenzle and freshman Anna Holmberg. Vodry already has 40 birdies on the season, which ranks ninth all-time in HPU single-season history.
 
Next up, the Panthers will compete at the River Landing Classic March 5-6 in Wallace, N.C.
