USC Women's Golf Drops National Championship Rematch
October 31, 2023 | Women's Golf
Bailey Shoemaker and Brianna Navarrosa helped lead the effort, as they both scored in the defeat
ATLANTA -Â USC women's golf fell 3-2 to Wake Forest in the semifinals of the East Lake Cup on Tuesday, October 31, at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Atlanta.Â
Â
Freshman Bailey Shoemaker was the first to enter the clubhouse, as she provided the first score of the day in the matchup. Shoemaker dominated most of the round, building up a five-hole lead after hole No. 10. The freshman would put her foot on the brakes a little bit in the latter half, as she ended up claiming it 2&1. Senior Brianna Navarrosa claimed the other match for the Trojans, as she went on a tear on the back nine. The matchup at the No. 3 spot was tied at hole No. 10, but quickly, the senior went up four points in just five holes. Soon after, she claimed it 4&3 to give USC their second point of the match.Â
Â
Both junior Amari Avery and junior Xin (Cindy) Kou had a shot at posting that defining point but couldn't muster enough of a comeback to win it. Avery turned a three-hole lead into one at hole No. 13 but couldn't get past the hump, and Kou turned a four-hole lead by the Demon Deacons into one before ultimately falling in the matchup.Â
Â
RESULTS:
Bailey Shoemaker def. A. Den Dunnen 2&1
M. Rhodes def. Catherine Park 3&2
Brianna Navarrosa def. M. Pate 4&3
C. Lopez-Chacarra def. Amari Avery 2&1
R. Kuehn def. Xin (Cindy) Kou 2&1
Â
The Trojans will continue to battle at the East Lake Cup, as they will compete against the loser of Stanford/Texas A&M in the semifinals tomorrow (Nov. 1) at the Atlanta Athletic Club.Â
