2-time Europe champ accepts Citadel scholarship
Published: November 16, 2011
Hollie Salvo, who won the DODDS-Europe golf championship as a freshman in 2008 and as a sophomore the following year, has accepted an offer of a full scholarship to play college golf for The Citadel in Charleston, S.C.
Salvo, whose senior season at Grissom High School in Huntsville, Ala., is scheduled to begin in March, signed with The Citadel after a visit to the school, according to her former coach at Wiesbaden, Jim Campbell.
“When she went for the visit, she told me she was thinking, ‘Citadel – no way,’ ” Campbell said recently. “But after the visit, she came back ready to sign. She loved the place.”
Salvo, who finished second in Europe to Ramstein’s Elizabeth Ward as junior in 2010, has won four tournaments since moving to Alabama in July, according to Keith Cromartie of the Army Materiel Command in Huntsville.
