Fullbrook took the lead against Skoler with five holes remaining to be played and maintained her two-hole lead at the completion of the 17th hole of the match to gain the victory and the match-clinching point for the Seminoles.
Florida State finished the competition with victories over Mississippi State and Virginia.
The Seminoles now turn their attention to their only home match of the season – the Florida State Match Up at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club in Tallahassee -- this coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (March 21-23). Play in the event begins at 8:45 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday. Admission and parking are free to all spectators on each of the three days of the event.
Fullbrook’s match against Skoler featured five ties and two lead changes. Skoler held a one-shot lead through the first 10 holes of the match. Fullbrook won hole No. 11 to tie the match; it remained tied for holes No. 11 and 12. The Florida State freshman then won the 13th hole to go up by one, and extended her led to two on the 17th hole of the match.
Fullbrook’s win on the 17th hole gave her a two-stroke advantage with one hole remaining to be played, giving her individual victory and the Seminoles the team victory.
Also gaining wins in Florida State’s victory over Virginia were All-American Lottie Woad and freshman Alexandra Gazzoli. Woad defeated Kennedy Swedick by a 7&6 margin while Gazzoli defeated Virginia’s Chloe Schiavone by a 2&1 score.
Four Seminoles – Woad, Gazzoli, Fullbrook, and Mirabel Ting – all won two individual matches during the three-match event for the Seminoles. Woad (2-0-1) and Gazzoli (2-0) both finished undefeated.
“Playing in the Old Barnwell Match Play Championship was a great experience for all of our players,” said head coach Amy Bond. “Each of the girls battled and fought hard in every one of their matches. Today was a prime example of what match play is all about as nearly every match went down to the wire.
“We need to continue to become more comfortable in match play because to win a national championship each of the members of the team have to play well in this format.”
While the Seminoles will learn from the event as they move forward, Bond and her tam are looking forward to playing at home this weekend in the Florida State Match Up.
“The Florida State Match Up gives college golf fans in Tallahassee an opportunity to watch world-class golfers play world-class golf in the Capital City. I encourage our fans to bring a blanket and witness some incredible golf played on our home course in our home city.”
