After three days at the SEC Women’s Golf Championships, match play for the fourth day of the tournament is set. In the first round of match play, Vanderbilt is set to take on the Florida Gators, who finished in first place through the first three days.

It is the first time since the 2022-2023 season that the Commodores have advanced to match play in the conference postseason. Vanderbilt finished in eighth place as a team through the first three days with a score of 3-over. It is not particularly where it wanted to be after being in third place entering the final day of the weekend. But a 9-over team score Sunday dropped them to eighth.

“We sure didn’t make it easy on ourselves today, but it feels good to advance to match play for our first time at Pelican,” head coach Greg Allen said. “The course was set up longer today and some of the hole locations were brutal, but we did enough to sneak in. Hopefully dealing with the pressure today will help us next month in NCAA play.”

Now, Vanderbilt has to take on Florida that shot up the team leaderboard Sunday with a team score of 7-under, passing up several teams to get to the top. Vanderbilt and Florida are scheduled to tee off at 7 a.m. CT.
