Freshmen
Caroline Cahill (+5) and
Rachael Mast (+7) enter the second round in 69th and 75th places, respectively.
Coach Cindy Ho Says: "I am pleased with the way we played overall today. Our proximity to the hole on a lot of our birdie chances were outside of 30 feet, so while we had some good looks, par was a good score. All of the teams ahead of us are ranked in the top 40, so we are right there. Thao My, Lyberty and Ellinoora had solid rounds for us and played well."
Up Next: The second round of the Clemson Invitational takes place on Saturday morning with the Seahawks slated to tee off at 9:42 a.m. from the 10th tee.
