Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is proud to recognize the University of South Carolina women's golf team, the Gamecocks, for finishing the season ranked number four in the final Golfstat Team Rankings; and

Whereas, the Gamecocks welcomed four new players to the lineup for their 2021-2022 season, winning a program record five times in eight regular season events; and

Whereas, the University of South Carolina women's golf team advanced to its eleventh NCAA Championship under Coach Kalen Anderson after taking second at the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. The Gamecocks finished fourteenth and shot a field-best 288 (E) in the medal round; and

Whereas, freshman Hannah Darling put together one of the finest seasons in program history as she was a consensus First Team All-American (WGCA and Golfweek) after recording eight top-twenty finishes in eleven stroke play starts. She was also a finalist for the ANNIKA Award. Fellow freshman Louise Rydqvist was tabbed a Golfweek Honorable Mention All-American. These achievements marked the first time in program history the team had multiple freshman All-Americans; and

Whereas, the Gamecocks have flourished under the leadership and guidance of Coach Anderson, who was named SEC Coach of the Year for the third time. She was also named WGCA South Region Coach of the Year for the first time in her career; and

Whereas, in the 2022-2023 season, Coach Anderson is entering her sixteenth year as the head coach of the South Carolina women's golf team on the heels of ten NCAA Championship appearances in the past twelve seasons and five NCAA Regional titles since 2010; and

Whereas, the Gamecocks had a program-record four players earn All-SEC honors: Darling (First Team), Tai Anudit (Second Team), Mathilde Claisse (Second Team) and Rydqvist (Second Team). Darling and Rydqvist were each named to the SEC All-Freshman Team as well. The Gamecocks finished the season ranked number four in the final Golfstat Team Rankings; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the University of South Carolina women's golf team has brought to its school and community and look forward to a future filled with further accomplishments by the team and its talented athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate the University of South Carolina School women's golf team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for finishing the season ranked number four in the final Golfstat Team Rankings.
