The top-seeded Wake Forest women’s golf team won its eighth conference title in program history Sunday after two rain delays caused the championship match to be called due to darkness at Porter’s Neck Country Club in Wilmington.

Wake, the top seed after 54 holes of stroke play, was leading Clemson in three of the five matches in the championship round. Earlier in the day, the Deacons beat North Carolina with Winston-Salem freshman Macy Pate, stroke-play medalist Rachel Kuehn and Brooke Rivers winning matches.

ACC rules awarded the title to Wake as the top seed remaining in match play. Pate, who won 4 and 3 over Clemson’s Sydney Roberts, was the only player to close out a match in the championship pairings.
