CHARLESTON, S.C. – A career-best effort from sophomore Sloane Spessard led the Presbyterian College women's golf team during Tuesday's second round of the Tot Hill Farm Invitational, coming in 8^th-place individually to help PC finish in the middle of the pack.

The Blue Hose placed 6^th out of 13 schools with a two-round score of 614, as the planned third round of the tourney was canceled due to inclement weather.

College of Charleston (the hosting party) won the Invitational at 585. PC finished a single stroke better than Radford for 6^th place, also topping Elon, Eastern Kentucky, Western Carolina, Gardner-Webb, North Carolina A&T, and Queens.

Two more dates are left on Presby's fall schedule, taking a two-week break before returning to the course on October 13 at Wofford.
