Morganton, N.C. - Sofie Kvarnstrom carded consecutive rounds of one-over par, 73, to win the individual title by three strokes over a second-place tie between Amanda D'Ostroph of Charleston Southern and Wofford's Elizabeth Thompson, to lead WCU to a team victory in the Mimosa Hills Intercollegiate.

The Catamounts cruised to a 16-stroke victory over six other squads at the par-72, 5,810-yard Mimosa Hills Country Club.

"Today was a true team win as everyone had a chance to contribute," said WCU head coach Mallory Hetzel. "It's nice to have that level of confidence going into the Southern Conference Championship. Mimosa Hills is a wonderful course, but it's not Hilton Head Island. The two have similar course defenses with difficult approaches to the tight greens - so in a small way, it did help prepare us, especially mentally, for the conference event."

"I am very proud of Sofie (Kvarnstrom) on her two rounds in scoring the individual championship today," said Hetzel. "She has had a tremendous freshman year with two individual championships. But most of all, I have been very pleased with her consistency for the team, especially here lately."
