W O M E N ’ S G O L F BOSE JR • NORFOLK, VIRGINIA Elizabeth T he 2017-18 season turned out to be a record-breaking one for the Virginia Tech women’s golf program, as the Hokies made their first NCAA regional appearance in the brief three-year history of the program. And as expected, Elizabeth Bose had a lot to do with the Hokies’ success. Bose tied for the team lead with 33 rounds played and led the Hokies in nearly every statistical category. Her stroke average of 73.21 led the squad, along with her final-round average of 73.36. Her seven top-20 finishes also led the squad, including four top-10 performances. Her low round of 66, which came in the very first round of the season, was the lowest on the team and the lowest by a Tech women’s golfer in program history. But Bose’s biggest accomplishment came in early March when she won the Hurricane Invitational at Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables, Florida. She shot rounds of 71, 69 and 70 to finish at 6-under-par and beat a field of 75 golfers. In doing so, she became the first women’s golfer in Tech history to win an event. Bose led Tech at its NCAA Austin Regional appearance, finishing 24th overall at 3-over-par after shooting a final-day 69. She was Tech’s top finisher in seven events this season and should be the leader once again, as she heads into her 2018-19 senior season. inside.hokiesports.com 29
