Carmen Pérez-Narbón, from Valencia, has achieved her third victory on the US University Circuit since joining the University of North Carolina Wilmington team back in 2007. She won the Colonial Athletic Association Championship held at the Callaway Gardens Golf Club in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

Carmen Pérez-Narbón, with a successful track record in the National Teams behind her, won at Pine Mountain after three days of play in which she invested a total of 219 strokes (73+72+74).

Her teammate Ashley Tait only signed for one more, 220, thanks to her great final round (71), while Georgia State golfer Sandra Maier took third place with 221 strokes.

North Carolina Wilmington team captain Cindy Ho remarked at the conclusion of the championship that the Spanish player had received a “well-deserved reward” for her excellent year. “She’s been hitting the ball very well all year, but her kicking hasn’t been great; despite that, she’s continued to work hard and hasn’t let it affect other aspects of her game. That’s why I’m so happy for Carmen,” she said.

This was Carmen Pérez-Narbón's third major victory since arriving in the United States. She opened her record on the other side of the Atlantic in October 2007 with a win at the Lady Paladin Invitational, and then in May 2008 she won the Lady Seahawk Invitational. In between these successes, she secured a resounding victory at the International Championship in Mexico.
