WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Xavier women's golf begins the 2018 season this weekend at the William & Mary Invitational at Kingsmill Resort. The two-day event kicks off on Sunday morning and wraps up on Monday.

Senior Mikayla Smith also returns for XU after competing in all 10 events as a junior with a 76.90 scoring average. Smith lowered her average score last season by over two strokes and capped the year with a tie for seventh individually at the BIG EAST Championships.
