TOCCOA, Ga. — The No. 5 Anderson Univeristy women's golf team finished first at the Currahee D2 Elite Invitational, closing the three-round stroke-play event at Currahee GC with a team total of 881. Olivia Roberts led the Trojans individually, placing second at 215 (-1), while Sarah Martin tied for third at 217 (+1).

"I am really proud of this win this week.," said director of golf Denton Moore. "Golf is unlike any other sport, in that you aren't just playing one other opponent. You are playing a field of teams, and anyone can get hot on a given week. It is incredibly hard in this sport to be the favorite going into a tournament, and then go win it. That's what this team did this week, and we did it with the youngest lineup I have ever started in my career. To get this done with three freshmen in the lineup makes me feel really good about the future of our program!"

Roberts placed second at 1-under 215, highlighted by a 6-under 66 in the second round. Martin tied for third at 1-over 217, carding even-par 72s in the second and third rounds. Olivia Pellerin finished third at 1-over 217 after opening with rounds of 71 and 70. Lilly McDermott placed 11th at 5-over 221, closing with a 1-over 73.

"I am proud of all the girls this week. Olivia Roberts getting runner up was a fantastic performance, and she was not 100% at all health wise. She fought something all week. Sarah Martin just continues to be the best freshman in the country in my opinion. I'm not even sure it is even close. Great top 3 from her this week. Olivia Pellerin got back to doing All American things this week in the Indy spot. Presli Webb was so clutch in the last two rounds when we really needed it. Ava Romansky and Ella Kate Barnett got thrown to the wolves this week on a super difficult golf course as freshmen, and they passed the test with flying colors. They were both huge this week when we needed them. Lilly McDermott was so clean this week, and got back on track with some outstanding golf in the other Indy spot."

"I am absolutely thrilled with the fall season we just had. To be as young and inexperienced as we are, we really grew up this fall. We were also able to have a lot of success while learning and growing up. We closed the fall with two wins, two runner ups, and a fifth. I cannot be more proud of this program. We are going to take the rest of this week off, rest, and celebrate the season. We will climb back in the saddle come Monday. I am so thankful for these girls and all of their hard work. Love this team, love this family, Go Trojans!"

The Trojans return to action in the Spring on Monday, Feb. 15, 2027, at Hilton Head, S.C. (Robert Trent Jones Course/Palmetto Dunes).
