PITTSGROVE, N.J. -- Playing in the second ever Colonial Women's Golf Conference Championship at the Running Deer GC in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, the Christopher Newport women's golf team captured a second place finish while being led by individual runner-up Gabi McGehee (+3). The sophomore finished strong with a one-over 73 to match her career-low for a 36-hole tournament. 

The Captains fired a 15-over 303 on day two to close out the two-day event with a 611 (308-303). In addition to McGehee's one-over 73, the Captains also got matching four-over 76's from rookie Madeleine Smith and sophomore Maddie Cameron. Sara McCaskill chipped in the final counting score of the day with a six-over 78. 

The Babson Beavers captured the CWGC Championship for the second year in a row with a 15-over 591 (296-295). Katie Yang won the individual medalist honors after signing for a one-under performance with McGehee close behind for second at three-over par. Smith (+9) finished sixth in her first career conference tournament appearance and Cameron (+11) was in seventh place. Taylor Davis (+15) and McCaskill (+16) finished ninth and tenth, respectively, as all five CNU players registered top-ten efforts in the conference tournament. 

McGehee held the consistent bag for the Captains during the 36-hole event and matched her personal low with a three-over 147 (74-73). In Tuesday's second round, she opened the day with six straight pars before finally suffering a bogey. The low lasted only a moment as she quickly bounced back with a birdie three on the 354-yard par four eighth hole and made the turn at Even par. On the back nine she started bogey-birdie again and fired off six more pars to close out the day at one-over par. 

Smith also logged seven pars on the front nine before notching her lone birdie on the 350-yard par four 12th hole. Cameron sank a birdie putt on the 458-yard par five 14th, and McCaskill matched her classmate's score on that hole. McCaskill also added another birdie four on the final long hole of the day when she reached the green in regulation on the 411-yard par five 17th before putting in for birdie.  On the front nine, Cameron went back-to-back with birdies on Nos. 5 and 6 while McCaskill also notched a three on the 294-yard par four 6th. 

Rounding out the day was junior Taylor Davis who recorded nine pars and one birdie in the final round. Davis hit it close on the 125-yard par three 13th and sank a birdie putt from there. 

The Captains close out the five-tournament fall season with a 318.3 scoring average as a team. In five events, Cameron and McCaskill led the way with three top-20 finishes while Smith, the rookie, added a pair.
