MONTEVALLO– The University of Montevallo women’s golf team is ranked 20^th in the most recent Golfstat poll. It is the highest ranking in the history of the program.

The Falcons are fresh off a second-place finish at Kiawah Island. That tournament was won by Florida Southern, who is ranked 15^th in the poll.

In that tournament, sophomore Elaine Wood finished in a tie for third place, receiving All-Tournament honors. Through 10 rounds this season, the Spanish Fort native has an average of 73.1 strokes. That is the lowest average in the Peach Belt Conference.
