ATHENS, GA – The Maryland women’s golf team closed its 2022-23 campaign with a top-10 performance at the NCAA Regionals.
Senior Angela Garvin of Feeding Hills, Mass, in her final tournament as a Maryland Terrapin, posted a total three-day score of 214 (71-72-71) to finish in a two-way tie for seventh on Wednesday.
Garvin, who is set to graduate later this month with a degree in Business Management with a minor in Spanish, led the sixth-seeded Terrapins all three days, finishing the tournament at two under par overall for the tournament. In Wednesday’s final round, she posted a nearly blemish-free scorecard with just one bogey on the 10th hole and a pair of birdies on the 7th and 17th holes on the University of Georgia Golf Course.
Garvin’s 214 is the best individual showing at an NCAA Regional since Virunpat Olankitkunchai shot a 214 in 2019.
As a team, the Terps scored a three-day total of 888 (+24), missing qualifying as a team by just three shots and finishing in seventh place.

HOVLAND’S ANALYSIS
“I am disappointed in the outcome but proud of the fight they showed, head coach Kelly Hovland. “We dug ourselves a hole early in the round, and despite a one-under back nine, we couldn’t get back inside the cut line.”
On Angela Garvin’s Performance: “Angela carried us today and had a gutsy performance to keep us in the hunt. She played her final round as a Terp with so much Maryland Pride, and I will forever be grateful for what she has done for our program!”
