Kupcho always seemed to turn up with her best game when the stakes were highest, like in the postseason. She had a legitimate chance at the NCAA individual title as a freshman and sophomore before finally winning it as a junior (and in doing so, putting aside some scar tissue from the previous year). Despite the fact that she had done about all there was to do in college golf, Kupcho still honored her commitment to her team and came back to finish her senior year, LPGA card in hand.

In all, Kupcho won nine times at Wake Forest – the second-most in Demon Deacon history – and guided the program through a few lean years and back to prosperity. Wake Forest was runner-up at the NCAA Women’s Championship in Kupcho’s final start with the team.
