Huskers Head to South Carolina

The Nebraska women’s golf team opens Spring Break with a trip to the Briar’s Creek Invitational in John’s Island, South Carolina, March 14-15.

The Huskers will be part of a strong 18-team field that features 15 top-100 teams including seven Big Ten schools with Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, Wisconsin and Nebraska making up nearly half the field. Boston College, Campbell, Colorado, East Carolina, Kansas, NC State, Old Dominion, Tulane, Central Florida, Charleston Southern and the hosts and defending champions from the College of Charleston complete an impressive field.

After a practice round on Sunday, action begins on Monday, March 14 with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. (CT) to set up the first two rounds of continuous play. The tournament concludes with a final round on Tuesday, March 15 with a shotgun start at 7:45 a.m. (CT).
