A freshman led Austin Peay with a one-under-par 71 in the first round and an even-par 72 in the second, resulting in a two-round total of 143 and tying her for second place individually. Another teammate is just one stroke behind with scores of 73 and 71, totaling a first-day score of 144 and placing her tied for seventh. A third golfer sits tied for tenth after shooting rounds of three-over-par 75 and one-under-par 71 for a total score of 146 through two rounds.
Other notable performances include players currently tied for twelfth place: Hirtzel (75-73), Jimenez (74-74), and Roberts (71-77). Cox (73-79) and Spencer (80-72) are both tied for twenty-sixth with identical totals of 152 after two rounds.
