Olivia Parrott and Cassidy Scantland fueled the early Day-2 charge. Parrott birdied her first hole, the par-3 11th, and stayed at one under for 17 holes, thanks to another birdie on the par-3 16th. But a bogey on her final hole gave her a team-low 73. Her two-day total of 150 was good for a third-place tie with Cumberland University's Morgan Stuckey in the 39-player field and also a spot on the All-Tournament team.
Scantland, with the help of two birdies, was even par through her first 11 holes, but went five over on the next four and wound up with a 78 for a two-day total of 155 and a tie for 11th.
Michaela Jarman added a 78 to her first-round 77 and finished at 157 and in a tie for 16th in her first collegiate tournament.
