SOUTHPORT, N.C. (April 13, 2023) – The CAA Women’s Golf Championship returns to The Reserve Club at St. James for a 54-hole tournament that begins Friday in North Carolina.
 
Nine CAA members will compete for team and individual titles on the par-72, 6,013-yard course with starts for the three rounds on Friday and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and Sunday at 8 a.m.
 
Charleston will aim to defend its title on this course when the Cougars won by 11 strokes in last April’s Championship. The top two individual finishers, Viktoria Hund and Emma Schimpf, both return for the Cougars with Schimpf in the top 50 nationally this spring. The Cougars are ranked 48th in the GolfStat numbers entering the championship and have been in the national polls this season.
 
UNCW, whose five titles lead all members, looks to get back to the top for the first time since 2019. The Seahawks won on this course in 2012 and 2019 and are ranked 75th by GolfStat heading into the Championship with Mallory Fobes in the individual national rankings. The Seahawks placed third at last year’s Championship.
 
Delaware enters the CAA Championship just outside the top 100 in the GolfStat rankings and aims for its third CAA title after a back-to-back in 2016 and 2017 that included a win at St. James in 2016. The Blue Hens, who finished second a year ago and saw two golfers finish in the top five, will join the Cougars and Seahawks as the last teams to tee off on Friday.
 
Elon is one of six teams aiming for its first CAA title and will strive to improve upon a fourth-place finish from a year ago. The Phoenix will be joined in the second group of tee times by William & Mary, which looks to better a sixth-place result last year that included an individual top-five, and Towson, which was fifth a year ago.
 
Conference newcomers Monmouth and North Carolina A&T will be joined by Hofstra as the first teams to tee off Friday. The Hawks finished fourth out of nine at last year’s MAAC Championship in Florida, while the Aggies placed ninth out of 11 teams at the Big South Championship in South Carolina. The Pride was seventh at St. James last season.
