College Performers of the Week powered by Rapsodo: Wake Forest women’s golf


A pair of Wake Forest players combined to go 31 under at the spring-opening UCF Challenge, carrying their team to a 45-under total and a 14-shot victory to start the second half of the season.

Individual champion Carolina Chacarra (19 under) and third-place finisher Rachel Kuehn (12 under) led a strong charge at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, helping Wake Forest to the second-lowest 54-hole team score in relation to par in NCAA history. Chacarra also won the individual title.

“What an incredible tournament,” head coach Kim Lewellen said in a release. “To have Carolina finish with two school records as a freshman and the team to come within one stroke of the NCAA record is amazing. This team works so hard and always comes together as a unit to support and encourage one another.”

The UCF Challenge was Wake Forest’s third team title in five starts so far this season. The team, ranked ninth by Golfweek, also won the Bryan National Collegiate and the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invite.
