SCORING | PAIRINGS | STATS/NOTES
CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs have enjoyed an enviable run of success at the Southern Conference Women's Golf Championships. They look to continue it beginning play Sunday at Moss Creek Golf Club.
Moss Creek's North Course was the site of five straight titles for the program from 2010-14 and it hosted six years overall including 2009. The field returns to the club again; this time employing the South Course to crown this year's champion.
Outside of the five championship years in Hilton Head, the Mocs finished as runners-up in 2009 and then the last three campaigns. It's an amazing stretch unmatched in the league during the program's existence.
