Pack upsets #16 Florida State in Quarterfinals
RALEIGH – The NC State women's golf team hosted an exciting first day of competition at the Wolfpack Match Play on Sunday, with eight schools participating in the first and second rounds of bracket play at Lonnie Poole Golf Club.
NC State began the day with a matchup against conference-rival Florida State, resulting in a dramatic 3-2 win for the Wolfpack over the 16th-ranked Seminoles.
After posting her first under-par performance of the season in the Wolfpack's most recent tournament at the Briar's Creek Invitational, Lea Klimentova continued her hot streak with a 2&1 win over Florida State's Elle Johnson. Despite going three down through eight holes early, Klimentova proceeded to win the next four holes to gain her first lead of the day, never looking back and cruising to a crucial win.
Klimentova was additionally the only member of the Wolfpack to pick up a win in NC State's second round matchup against North Carolina.
Isabel Amezcua picked up another win for the Wolfpack against the Seminoles, knocking off Charlotte Heath, 4&3. Amezcua never trailed throughout the 15-hole match.
After Lauren Olivares Leon and Inja Fric dropped two matches by scores of 3&2 and 5&4, respectively, Natalie Armbruester and Cecilie Finne-Ipsen were subject to a sudden-death playoff after Armbruester won two of the final three holes in regulation to extend the match.
Back-to-back pars on holes one and eight were enough for Armbruester to clinch the 20-hole dual over Finne-Ipsen, putting NC State in the winner's bracket for round two.
The Wolfpack dropped its second-round matchup by a score of 4-1 to North Carolina, with Klimentova earning a dominant 6&4 win in the opening match. Olivares Leon, Amezcua, Fric, and Armbruester each competed once again for NC State in the second round.
Ryann Sinclair, Nicole Kramer, and Pilar Berchot each faced off against Tar Heel golfers as well in exhibition matches as individuals.
The Wolfpack will be back in action tomorrow against Louisville in the third-place match, with North Carolina and third-ranked South Carolina set to face off in the championship match.
