DAY TWO WOMEN'S OVERVIEW

Haupt compiled four birdies on the Monday, three of which came on par-3 holes.  McKenna Montgomery registered five birdies to her first-round scorecard, including on the four on the first nine holes on the course.  Montgomery tore up the par-5 holes, as she birdied three out of the five on the scorecard.
 
DAY TWO MEN'S OVERVIEW
MacNeil scored just two birdies in the second round as he shot a 75, but rebounded with a strong final round.  MacNeil tallied two birdies on the front nine, and registered an eagle on the par-4 15^th hole.  For the second-straight round, Alvaro Puchades eagled the par-5 first hole in his second round.  Lucas Allder and Liam Bentein each shot even par in the final round to help bring the Lions to a third-place finish.  Bentein finished in ninth place for the Lions after shooting a 220 through three rounds.
