HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Battling tough conditions and a host of wind, USC Upstate women's golf secured its second consecutive, and fourth overall top-three team finish as the Spartans and sophomore Suwarin Yord-in both collect runner-up finishes at the Low Country Intercollegiate.

Following up a third-place finish at the Husky Invitational to open Upstate's Spring Break, the Spartans collected back-to-back top-three finishes with the program's runner-up placement Sunday. Upstate turned in scores of 301-296-304-901 with the team's second-round 296 representing the 11^th sub-300 round through 10 tournaments and 30 rounds during the 2021-22 season.

Led by Yord-in's runner-up finish, Upstate secured its first event since the Jacksonville Classic (Sep. 27-28, 2021) with multiple All-Tournament Team members. Yord-in fashioned scores of 74-73-71-218 to pace the Spartans with redshirt junior Beem Pabsimma tying for third, carding marks of 74-71-75-220. Their finishes marked the first and fourth All-Tournament Team placements, respectively, for Yord-in and Pabsimma this season.

Rounding out a trio of top-15 finishers, redshirt sophomore Preaw Nontarux tied for 13^th, posting totals of 76-75-77-228. With her placement, Nontarux cemented Upstate's fourth event during the 2021-22 season to feature three or more top-15 finishers, the first since the San Jose Intercollegiate (Feb. 14-15, 2022).
