Tom Corroto taught his daughter, Carla, everything that he knew about golf.  Wow – did that ever pay off!  Encouraging Carla to compete and succeed at a time when girls' sports were in their infancy turned into a life's lesson that Carla heeded well.  "Beat the Boys!" – was Tom's entreaty and Carla took that urging to heart.

Carla Corroto led the Lady Cardinal golfers to back-to-back undefeated seasons in '74 and '75.  She was the SVC's medallist in 1976 after finishing second the previous two years.

After earning undergraduate and Master's degrees in architecture and a Ph.D. in sociology, Carla is currently a professor of Architecture at the University of North Carolina.

She is married to Paul Clarke and lives in Greensboro, N.C. where there are lovely golf courses at which she still tries to "beat the boys."
