Maeve Cummins (Waringstown, Northern Ireland) paced C-N in round one. The graduate student started her day strong, going 2-under through her first eleven holes of round one. Three bogeys in her final seven holes pushed her back to an even-par 72 in the opening round. She dropped five strokes in round two, carding a 5-over 77. Her one birdie came on the eleventh hole, a 496-yard par five. She heads into the final round tied for 10th.
Caroline Nemes (Orlando, Fla.) recorded one birdie in her first round, carding a 6-over 78. The sophomore had a stretch in the round in which she made seven straight pars. Her second round was birdie free, but she did make 13 pars, scoring yet another 6-over 78.
Hannah Holland (Sale Creek, Tenn.) played the par fives 2-under par, joining Nemes with an opening round of 78. She made eight pars in the round.

Holland is tied for 35th heading into the final round.

The freshman shaved four strokes off her first-round score, scoring a 1-over 73 in the second round. She made four birdies, three of which came on the back nine, in which she shot 1-under. Like Cummins, she also enters the final round tied for 10th. Amongst other players, she finished second in lowest on the pars fours.
Ellie Haughton's (Lincolnshire, England) first round was consisted of five pars, as she scored an 87, which was not included in the team score. Her second-round score was certainly included. The senior made three bogeys and two birdies to finish the day with a 1-over 73.
