TicketsKIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – University of Cincinnati women's golf recorded its best single-round performance of the season Monday with a 293 in the second round of the College of Charleston Palmetto Intercollegiate at Turtle Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
With two players shooting under par on the day, the Bearcats holed 15 birdies to move into seventh place out of 22 teams.
Senior Alyssa Burritt (Bellbrook, Ohio/Bellbrook) bounced back in a big way Monday with a collegiate-best score of 68 (-4) to move up from a tie for 61st to a tie for 15th. She went even-par on the front nine holes of the second round and really buckled down on the back, going 4-under with four birdies.
Fellow senior Daniela Murcia (Bogotá, Colombia) also made big jump Monday, following up Sunday's 75 with a season-best 71 – featuring 2-under-par on the front nine and five total birdies for the round – to move from a tie for 43rd to a tie for 20th.
Freshman Paighton Masterson (Avon Lake, Ohio/Avon Lake) and junior Angela Lopez (Bogotá, Colombia) both turned in rounds of 77 with four birdie scores split between the two. Junior Vanessa Manrique (Bogotá, Colombia), battling through injury, posted a score of 78 for the second-consecutive day, with one birdie.
Tuesday's final round will commence with an 8:30 a.m. (ET) shotgun start. Follow along with live scoring here.
// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"Today was a big day for us to make a move with a great team effort. Our two seniors, Daniela and Alyssa, have been working very hard the past month, as well as all members of the team. Alyssa fought her way to her low round of the year with a 4-under 68. My favorite quote from Daniela was 'today was the weirdest day of golf, but I still have chances' on her way to another under-par round. We were happy with the fight that we saw on the golf course. There were points in which the round could have gone either way, but the players accepted the challenge and rose to the occasion. We still need to continue to finish off the round, but this team and its fight made us proud today."
