The Miami Golf team traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee earlier this week to compete in the 2024 Mercedes Benz Collegiate Championship at Cherokee Country Club.

The ladies were looking for their first top-three finish and overall win of the season to spark momentum ahead of next week's Hurricane Invitational in Coral Gables.

The team responded with a wire-to-wire victory, leading after rounds one, two and three, securing their first top finish of the year by five strokes.

Sophomore Rebekah Gardner secured the win on the final day, shooting a team-best 69 (-2) on Tuesday afternoon. She and freshman Cloe Amion Villarino finished tied for seventh on the weekend with an overall score of two over par. The Canes had five different players in the top 20 and shot an overall score of ten over par for the tournament.

The ladies will look to build off their victory next week home at the Hurricane Invitational, an event they won last year.
