Besides the conditions, they were able to finish the tournement in 2nd place behind Morningside College who is ranked 7th Nationally in NAIA. Day 1 Luisa Gibson got off to a great start and led the tournement with a score of 74 (+2) good enough to lead by 2 strokes. Seira Kubo (78) and Katie Schweers (83) also had great round.

"It was good to see those 3 play a solid round, " said Assistant Coach Matt Robinson. "It really set the tone for Day 2 and having a strong finish."

Day 2 brought rain and shifting wind directions. Even with these changes the Women were able to record thier low round of the season with a team score of 315. Once again Gibson and Kubo led the way with rounds of 77. Maya Northcutt turned in her best round of the season with a score of 80 and Holly Elliott rebounded to fire a 81. Schweers was consistant again with a 83.

"For all our girls to shoot great and close together on Day 2 in the condintions we had was very positive. We are close to peaking at the right time of the year when the National Championships is right around the corner." Said Robinson
