The second round, however, proved to be more challenging as the Rattlers battled the golf course. StMU finished their second round at 18-over and claimed fourth place in the event.
In the individual competition, the Rattlers were led by Junior Rebecca Reed. Reed shot back-to-back rounds of 72 to finished at even par and in 3rd place overall. Rebecca collected five birdies throughout the afternoon and led the Rattlers in par 5 scoring at 3-under par.
Sofia Ruescas also finished inside the top ten, claiming T7 with three other players after rounds of 73 and 76 (5-over par).
