MARCH 2016 ■ 71 deal of experience. She loves team golf and the team atmosphere. That comes across in her leadership and her ability to relate to her teammates. And that's important on a young team." Sophomore Cecily Overbey played in nine tournaments, including the ACC Champion- ships, the NCAA Raleigh Regional and the NCAA Championships a year ago. Junior Stephanie Pribonic played in seven tourna- ments, including all three postseason events. Junior Sarah Bae, a transfer from High Point University and the 2014 Big South Fresh- man of the Year, brings considerable colle- giate experience to the mix despite her status as a newcomer to the program. So it will be more than the freshmen, but they will have to play a prominent role. Leonie Bettel (Vienna, Austria), India Cly- burn (Cleethorpes, England), Naomi Ko (Victoria, British Columbia) and Laura Kowohl (Kronau, Germany) all enjoyed high-profile high school and international careers at the youth level, and they all ap- pear to have a bright future at NC State. Top Golfers Senior Rachael Taylor Following a breakout junior season that saw her become just the second NGCA all-regional per- former in NC State women's golf history, Taylor is the senior leader for the young Wolfpack squad. The Glasgow, Scotland, native began the spring slate with a team-best seventh-place finish (7-over-par 223) at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic. Taylor started all 10 tournaments a year ago and led the team with a 74.73 stroke average. She tied for fifth place with a score of even par at the NCAA Raleigh Regional to earn all-region honors, and then she led the team to its 22nd-place finish at the NCAA Champion- ships. She played for Team Scotland at the European Ladies Championship last summer. Junior Sarah Bae A transfer from High Point, Bae adds some col- legiate experience to one of Page Marsh's best re- cruiting classes. Recruited by Marsh out of Raleigh's Athens Drive High School three years ago, Bae opted to attend High Point University instead and earned Big South Freshman of the Year honors in 2013-14 after winning the first two collegiate tour- naments of her career. She led High Point in the fall of 2014, averaging 73.42 strokes per round in four tournaments while finishing in the top 10 of all four and winning one individual championship. Freshman India Clyburn Clyburn stood out during the fall, averaging a team-best 73.75 strokes per round and earning the team's only two individual top-10 finishes. A native of Cleethorpes, England, she ranked 84th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings as a high school se - nior. She won the U21 Scotland Junior Ladies Stroke Play Championships by a tourney-record 12 shots, shooting 15 under par for the tournament and a 9-under 65 in the final round. She also compiled a 3-under-par score to win the English Girls Amateur Championships. 403 S. Broad Street, Edenton, NC 866 360 5222 6385 N.
