Cougars 15th Going into Final Round at UCF Challenge

SORRENTO, FL Feb. 11, 2013 - The College of Charleston women’s golf team continued play in the UCF Challenge by shooting 20-over as a team in the second round and are in 15^th place with one round to go.

The Cougars are 31-over par for the tournament, nine shots back of 11^th place and 16 shots back of the top-10. North Carolina leads the tournament at 11-under with a 16 shot lead on second-place UCF.

It was two freshmen that led the way for the Cougars on day two as Stacey Tomlinson fired a 3-over 75 and Mary Chandler Bryan carded a 4-over 76. The pair combined for four birdies and six bogeys for the round.

After shooting an opening round of 71, freshman Julia Neumann came back with a 6-over 78, with two birdies on the day.

Senior Vanessa Koechli and junior Kathryn Miranda each shot 7-under rounds of 79 for the Cougars.

“We didn’t play our best today,” CofC head coach Jamie Futrell said. “In a field of this high caliber if you’re not at your best you’re not going to finish very well.  We still have a good opportunity to move up and beat some quality teams tomorrow.”

The teams will tee off in a shotgun start tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.
