COLUMBUS, Ga. — Freshman Hannah Darling was named to the ANNIKA Award final fall watch list on Monday. The first-year standout has two top-10s in her first three career starts for the eighth-ranked Gamecocks this season.
 
She leads the team with a 73.00 scoring and is the only player on the squad with multiple rounds in the 60s.
