Former Lady Pirate golfer Adrienne Millican is one of 128 golfers invited to participate in the 90th Women's Southern Amateur Tournament in Savannah, Georgia on June 13.

Millican concluded her four-year career with the Pirates this season after guiding ECU to its second NCAA Tournament appearance in the past three seasons. She earned first-team All-Conference USA accolades for the second consecutive season and was named to C-USA's 10th Anniversary Team. As a junior, she became the first Pirate golfer, male or female in the modern era to participate in the NCAA Championships, finishing tied for 34th out of 126 golfers.

The annual tournament will be held at The Landings Club, Savannah Georgia with its most competitive field ever. Taffy Brower, Boynton Beach, Florida, who in 2004 became the first woman to win both the Southern Amateur and Southern Senior Amateur in the same year, returns to defend her title.
