RESULT | SCORING | PAIRINGS | ABOUT CHATTANOOGA GOLF
JACKSONVILLE---The Chattanooga Mocs got off to a strong start at the UNF Collegiate Monday before darkness suspended play late in round two. The Mocs are tied for second at 1 under with 2-4 holes remaining for their quintet.
The ladies opened with a season-best 290 (+2) at Jacksonville Golf & Country Club. They got it going even better over the 14-16 holes played in round two sitting at 3 under for the round and 1 under overall. Chattanooga is tied for second with host North Florida, seven behind the leader UTSA.
It was a consistent performance across the group for the opening 18. The freshmen duo of Giulia Foresta and Violeta Fernandez-Tagle had level-par 72s. That was one better than the trio of Makenzie Cooper, Nieves Martin and Kera Healey.
The freshman got hot. Foresta is 6 under through 15, while Fernandez-Tagle is 2 under with two to play. Cooper is next at 2 over through 15, while Martin sits at 3 over after 14. Healey also finished 14 holes at 4 over.
The Ospreys Christin Eisenbeiss is the leader at 11 under. Foresta is tied for fourth at 6 under with Fernandez-Tagle also in the top 10 tied for ninth at 2 under.
The field returns to the course in the morning to complete round two before a final 18 with ominous conditions in the forecast.
"Obviously, really pleased we finally threw out a good number in the first round," Coach Colette Murray said. "The freshman really got it going in the second round, and we need to finish that off strong and keep us in contention. The forecast for tomorrow isn't great but we are prepared for it."
