Winthrop Women’s Golf Posts Strong Showing in Greensboro
The Winthrop women’s golf team turned in a fourth-place finish at the UNCG Collegiate in Greensboro, N.C., on Tuesday afternoon, powered by an individual tie for third from Constanca Mendonca. For readers across Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Indian Land, Waxhaw, Ballantyne, and Pineville, it is a result worth noting for one of the region’s closest Division One programs.
The summary from the Fort Mill Sun is brief, so this article sticks to what has been confirmed: the team placed fourth, and Mendonca finished T3 on the individual leaderboard. We have not been given the full scores, the number of teams in the field, or the course details, and we will not guess at them here.
Key Details
- Team: Winthrop women’s golf
- Event: UNCG Collegiate
- Location: Greensboro, N.C.
- Team result: Fourth place
- Top individual: Constanca Mendonca, tied for third (T3)
- When: Tuesday afternoon
What T3 Means
Finishing T3 means Mendonca shared third place on the individual leaderboard with at least one other golfer. In college golf, individual results are tracked alongside team scores, so a player can post a podium-level finish even when the team lands just outside the top three. That is the situation here, and it is a good sign for both Mendonca and the program.
Why This Matters to South Charlotte Sports Fans
Winthrop University sits in Rock Hill, and its athletic programs draw support from across York County and the broader South Charlotte region. Many residents of Fort Mill, Tega Cay, and Indian Land have a connection to the Eagles, whether through alumni ties, local high school pipelines, or simply a love of weekend college sports.
A strong fall-season result gives the team momentum and gives local fans something to follow. It also highlights the quality of college golf available close to home, which can be a fun and affordable way for families to spend time outdoors.

College golf teams typically compete in a series of multi-team tournaments through the fall and spring, with team scores built from the best individual rounds. Results like this one help programs build their seasons, and individual standouts like Mendonca often become the faces of the team. Because the source gives only the headline outcome, we recommend checking official Winthrop athletics channels for the complete leaderboard and any statements from the coaching staff.
