DAHLONEGA, Ga. - After finishing day one of competition in 8th place, the Florida Southern women climbed another two places to finish 6th at the LeeAnn Noble Memorial hosted by North Georgia at Achasta Golf Club in Dahlonega, Georgia.

The women struggled in the first round of competition on Monday as they finished in 15th. However, the Mocs mounted an astounding comeback to rise seven places and finish 8th at the conclusion of the first day. They carried the momentum into today, climbing another two places.

FSC head coach Robbie Davis was impressed by the way his team performed. He noted, " We had a great finishing round for our women today and a personal best for Lacey Tucker with even par 216."

Once again, Lacey Tucker led the women with an impressive back nine of 2-under to finish the third round 2-under. Tucker's combined score of 216 (73, 72, 71) earned her a tie for 12th place individually. This tournament was Tucker's first time in the lineup this season due to illness. She was a key to the Mocs' success and will be very valuable to the team going forward.

The next finisher for the Mocs was senior Nathalie Svensson, who finished in a tie for 24th after a very impressive third round of 72 (E). She moved up six places on day two, finishing with a combined score of 220 (+4). Only a few strokes back was senior Elizabeth Harding. She also ascended in the standings on day two, moving from 44th into a tie for 36th after posting a very solid third round of 72 (E) to finish with a combined score of 222 (+6). Rounding out the top 5 was senior Loren Perez in a tie for 54th and freshman Marissa Cardenas in a tie for 58th.
