MOBILE, Ala. — Molly Bebelaar moved up to a tie for 13th place in the second round of the USA Intercollegiate on Sunday. The senior from Louisville, Ky., repeated her team-leading first-round score of 71 (-1) to end the day at 142 (-2), four strokes off the individual lead.
MTSU finished the round in 10th place at 583 (+7) as a team, improving upon its first-round score by one stroke for a collective 291 (+3) on another mostly cloudy day on the par-72, 6,110-yard Magnolia Grove Crossings Course.
Bebelaar recorded four birdies Sunday to lead the Blue Raiders, moving up four spots on the individual leaderboard.
Taylor Edlin moved up 12 spots to a tie for 34th after carding a 72 (E) Sunday. She enters the third round at 147 (+3), tied with Abbie Lee, who finished the second round with a 73 (+1).
Rounding out the lineup, Catherine Caudill heads into the final round tied for 49th at 150 (+6), and Lanie Campbell is tied for 68th at 154 (+10). Playing as an individual, Lauren Gilchrist is tied for 49th at 149 (+5).

We have hit the ball pretty well as a team so far, and we are hitting a lot of greens but just not making enough putts. We are middle of the pack in number of birdies, but we need a few more tomorrow to move up the leaderboard. Molly is playing very solid and only four shots off the pace of the leaders with another day to go. We're going to come out trying to make more birdies and leave this tourney with some confidence."
