HILTON HEAD, S.C. -- Indiana State returns to the links this weekend as they make their second trip to the Palmetto State this spring in traveling to the Low Country Intercollegiate to be held at the Moss Creek Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday, March 17-18. The event, hosted by Wofford, is scheduled for 36 holes total with one round each day.
"We are really looking forward to our work outside this week," head coach
Greg Towne said. "Moss Creek is a well groomed and difficult course that has some run out on the drives and greens which will be a lot like our conference event in Wichita. I am encouraging our players to learn some new shots around the greens and keep expanding their skill set."
The Sycamores head into the event with a lineup of
Thilda Staubo,
Sophie Benetti,
Sierra Hargens,
Robyn Blanchard, and

Alex Jennings is also on the trip and will be competing as an individual.
