ROCK HILL, South Carolina– Both Trinity Western women's teams had another day of solid rounds on Day Three of the Collegiate Disc Golf National Championships Friday at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
 
The pairing of second-year Hannah Porter (Lethbridge, Alta.) and first-year Zion White (Vernon, B.C.) made seven birdies and one bogey to shoot six under (53) for an 888 rating and finish the day in fifth spot at the championship. The pairing is six strokes out of third spot behind Clemson and Milligan who are tied at -9. Porter and White are nine strokes ahead of the two teams tied for sixth at +6.
 
The Spartans' second pair, of third-year Joyce Leung (Surrey, B.C.) and first-year Verity White (Vernon, B.C.), finished the day shooting an even round of 57. Leung and White are currently tied for sixth spot at +6 with Hesston College and are two strokes above North Carolina.

Trinity Western head coach Chris Hartmann
On Hannah and Zion:
"The girls play the tight-fairways-through-the-woods Camp Canaan course tomorrow which can yield a wide variety of scores on many holes.  Some very good teams are above them in the standings and today they had the same score, or one stroke higher, than the three teams above them. I know they'll go out and give it everything they have on the final day and..... who knows?"
 
On Joyce and Verity:
"We still have one whole round of team play remaining but so far, these two have used every skill they have to brilliantly manage their way around these courses and score well above their player ratings. For them to be currently sitting in a tie for sixth play is already an amazing accomplishment, but I know they too want to finish strong and see what's possible on the toughest course they play all week. It should be fun to watch."
