"I'm very pleased with Alexa Gentile's round today," head coach John O'Connor said. "It's a sign that she can compete at this level. She's shown a lot of improvement over the last couple of weeks."

Nicole Scola (Westerly, R.I.) shot a team-best 78 to finish with a 159 for a tie of 34^th place as the Bobcats' top finisher. To date, nine of Scola's 11 career 18-hole rounds have been sub-80 scores.
