HILTON HEAD, S.C. -- The Navy women's golf team placed 15th out of 18 teams at the 36-hole Low Country Intercollegiate at the Moss Creek Golf Club this weekend. The Moss Creek South Course is a par 72 and is 5,922 yards.

Navy shot a 328 on Saturday and lowered its Sunday round to 320 for a total of 648 (+72).

Bethune-Cookman won the team title with a 611 (304-307; +35) and was followed in the top-five by Chattanooga (614), Gardner-Webb (617), Appalachian State (619) and William & Mary (620). Brown's Sarah Banks was the individual medalist in the 93-player field with a 36-hole total of 146 (75-71; +2).

Sophomore Christine Walker led Navy with a 16th-place finish and an overall score of 155 (78-77; +11) and senior captain Renata Bucher was Navy's second finisher, tying for 55th place with a 163 (84-79; +19).

Walker's total score of 155 is tied for the second-lowest two-round tournament score in program history. Bucher's 153 is the lowest two-round tournament total at Navy.

Sophomore Kellyanne Hurst tied for 64th place with a 164 (82-82; +20), sophomore Legare Augenstein tied for 70th with a 166 (84-82; +22) and sophomore Mary Kate Nelson tied for 80th place with a 171 (85-86; +27).

Sophomore Jane Moon, competing as an individual, tied for 78th place with a 170 (93-77) after lowering her second-round score by 16 shots from the opening round.

"The team has had a nice spring break training and tournament week," said Navy head coach Nadia Ste-Marie. "I am pleased with the progress we are making. Christine had a nice tournament, shooting two rounds in the 70s and Renata fought hard and played well today. Jane also had a tremendous comeback today."

Navy shaved 29 strokes off its total score of 677 at the 2015 edition of the Low Country Intercollegiate.

Navy will next compete at the Kingsmill Intercollegiate in Williamsburg, Virginia from March 28-29.
