EATONTON, Ga. – A tough start to round two of the Reynolds Lake Oconee Invitational hampered the Blue Raiders Saturday, as they fell one spot into eighth after a round of 26-over par 314.
Middle Tennessee was already 18-over par at the turn before battling on the second nine to stay within striking distance of a move into the Top 5 on the team leaderboard.
"It was just a tough day out there today all the way around," Head Coach Chris Adams commented. "Hole locations, wind, and just lacking some confidence from not having much practice time coming in definitely played a part in our struggles today, but I thought we stayed strong. The scores were high across the board and we know we can still improve tomorrow."
Caroline Caudill and Taylor Edlin remain inside the Top 20 in the field of 88 golfers after a challenging 36 holes. Caudill currently holds a share of 12th place at 7-over par after a 5-over 77 on Saturday while Edlin turned in a 7-over par 79 and is tied for 19th place at 9-over par.
Molly Bebelaar posted the low round of the day for MT, caring a 4-over par 76 that included a stretch of 2-under par golf in her final seven holes to create some momentum to carry into Sunday.
Catherine Caudill (10-over par 82) and Sophie Burks (11-over par 83) each struggled throughout the day, posting scores they will be ready to best in Sunday's final round, while dreshman Lauren Gilchrist, competing as an individual, shot 13-over par (85) on Saturday.
Only five strokes separate the Blue Raiders from 5th place Tulane (+38), while Conference USA foe Old Dominion (+27) has taken a 3-stroke lead over Kennesaw State (+30) on the team leaderboard.
