The two-day team competition featured eight players representing North and South Carolina against a combined team of five Virginia and three Maryland players. Four four-ball matches were contested Saturday before all eight players faced off in singles matches Sunday, with one point available in each match.

The Carolinas grabbed control of the competition during Saturday’s four-ball matches, earning three of the four available points to take a 3-1 advantage into Sunday.

Ella Spence and Ella June Hannant put the first full point on the board for the Carolinas with a 2 and 1 victory over Kennedy MacCleery and Alexis Danielle Goboy.
