🔼 On Par. Kalen Anderson will lead South Carolina women’s golf into its NCAA Regional as the reigning 2024 SEC Coach of the Year! It’s the fourth time Anderson has earned the honor. South Carolina heads into NCAA Regional play as a No. 1 seed and the No. 2 overall team in the Clippd Team Rankings. The Gamecocks posted four wins this season while teeing off against one of the most challenging schedules in the nation.
