The NC State's women's golf team wrapped up its third tournament of the campaign on Sunday, finishing the Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational in 14th place.
The Wolfpack's final round score of 288 (E), as well as its tournament total of 876 (+12), both marked season lows. Additionally, its 54-hole score is the team's best total since March 29-31, 2019, when it fired an 866 at the Bryan National Collegiate.
Natalie Armbruester shined on the final day of competition, posting her best round of the season at a two-under par 70. Armbruester totaled four birdies in her final round, finishing the tournament in a tie for 47th individually.
Lauren Olivares Leon was the top finisher of the weekend for the Wolfpack, finishing at one-over par and in a tie for 29th place. Olivares Leon used three front-nine birdies to shoot an even-par 72 on Sunday. All nine of the freshman's rounds so far this fall have been a 74 or better.
Isabel Amezcua and Lea Klimentova both finished the weekend tied for 52nd individually, shooting 72 (E) and 74 (+2), respectively, in the final round of play to finish at six-over for the tournament.
NC State's starting five was rounded out by Inja Fric, whose final round 77 (+5) was enough to earn a tie for 64th.
ACC foe Wake Forest came out victorious on Sunday, finishing at 17-under par over the course of the 54-hole event at UNC's Finley Golf Club. Rachel Kuehn of Wake Forest captured medalist honors, highlighted by a nine-under 63 on Saturday.
Next up for the Wolfpack will be the Landfall Tradition, hosted by UNCW, in Wilmington, N.C., at the Country Club of Landfall. The Landfall Tradition will be NC State's last tournament of the fall season before taking a three-month intermission from competition for the winter months.
