Valentina Fontaine and Carolin Pinegger led the women's golf team to an upset victory over No. 21 Kent State on Saturday at RedTail Golf Club in Sorrento, Fla.
The sophomores shot final-round 69s in the dual match. Pinegger finished one-under with a 143 and claimed the individual title. Fontaine shot 145.
UCF finished the first 18 holes tied with Kent State at 301. Kent State's Martina Gravier had the best round of the morning and finished with a one-over 73. Pinegger finished the morning round with a 74 and freshman Isabelle Bachtiar had a 75.
Pinneger's individual title was the first of her collegiate career. Fontaine's final-round score tied her career low.
"I am very excited with how well we played today," head coach Courtney Trimble said in a release. "We had been working very hard all winter after a disappointing fall focusing on starting the spring off right with this match today. We came out and played some great golf and, if we keep the hard work at practice up, things hopefully will look good for the UCF Challenge."
The UCF Challenge will be played at RedTail from Feb. 13 through 15. The 54-hole tournament is ranked among the nation's 15 best spring tournaments in Golf Digest.
