PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – Carrying a streak of four consecutive top-six finishes over from the fall season, USC Upstate women's golf extended said streak with its best finish of the 2021-22 season, bringing home the tournament championship at the Lady Bison Bay Point Classic Tuesday afternoon.
As a team, the Spartans found themselves in the top-three following each round of the event but shot up the leaderboard following a final round 297 to claim the tournament championship. Overall, Upstate carded marks of 312-307-297-916 for the event to win by six strokes with the team's final round 297 marking the lowest team round of the event.

She fashioned scores of 77-71-74-222, seeing herself in the events' top-10 throughout its three-round duration while also leading the field with three carded Eagles.
