NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt women’s golf continues its spring slate by heading to Hilton Head, S.C., this week to compete in the annual Darius Rucker Intercollegiate at Long Cove Club. Play begins Monday at the 6,369-yard, par-71 course.

The Commodore lineup will feature Celina Sattelkau, Virginie Ding, Tillie Claggett, Ava Merrill and Lynn Lim after the group finished fourth at the Moon Golf Invitational two weeks ago.
