The 2024 College Disc Golf National Championship was marked by a dramatic turn of events for top-seeded UNC Charlotte. Initially struggling out of the gate on Championship Saturday, the team rallied to claim the Men's Division I national title in a nail-biting playoff with Cincinnati.
UNCC's Glenn Fister played a pivotal role in the comeback, sinking an eagle putt from over 50 feet on the final hole to force extra time against the defending champions. The momentum shifted further in favor of UNC Charlotte when they clutched up on the infamous "Beach" hole, while Cincinnati's efforts fell short.
This heart-stopping finish capped off a remarkable day for UNCC, who had seen their four-stroke lead evaporate early on. By the midpoint of the competition, NC State and Cincinnati were hot on their heels, with the latter ultimately taking the clubhouse lead before the championship came down to a single putt.
In other divisional action, Liberty University's Julia Dimartino and Maggie Presley continued their winning streak in Women's Division I, securing the team title after leading wire-to-wire. The duo withstood pressure from Clemson's Missoury Wolff and Noelle Erb on Saturday, ultimately emerging victorious by a slim margin.
In Division II, the University of North Carolina claimed the championship after an ace shot propelled them to a 14-under round. They then outlasted the University of Dayton in a playoff, while UNC Charlotte's B Team finished third just one stroke shy of joining the playoff.
The podium sweep by UNC Charlotte was a testament to their dominance across all three divisions. Liberty's D3.2 team also emerged victorious in Division III, securing a big win over NC State's C Team.
