Women's Golf Tournament Notes - Mercedes-Benz Collegiate

TEAM
- 874 is the best 54-hole total for the first tournament of the season in school history.
- School-best Mercedes-Benz Collegiate 54-hole score...tops 882 (+18) shot in seventh-place finish in 2010 at Holston Hills C.C.
- 36-hole total of 584 was five strokes better than the team's low from prior seven entries (589 in last year's tourney).
- Second-round 289 was the Mocs low round in 23 at the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate…bested previous mark of 292 in 2013.
- 8-under par counting-card performance on par 5s is best since torching Pinehurst No. 1's long holes at -19 in October 12-13, 2015…Cristina Perez (-3), Holly Morgan (-3), Monica San Juan (-2) and Megan Woods (E) all played par or better on the par 5s on the team cards...Maria Pineiro was -2 playing as an individual.
 
INDIVIDUAL
- Maria Pineiro is the first Moc to post a round in the 60s for her first card opening with a 2-under 69 Monday...fourth to start her career with a par or better 18 joining Emma de Groot (70, 2007 Chris Banister Gamecock Classic), Kayla Stewart (71, 2007 Chris Banister Gamecock Classic) and Maria Salinas (71, 2008 Chris Banister Gamecock Classic).
- Pineiro's 69 matched the squad's all-time low in the tournament by Maria Juliana Loza in 2010.
- Holly Morgan made it two-for-two on par or better cards among the freshman class with a 1-under 70 in her second round…closed with E 71 taking the team lead with two in three rounds.
