Virginia Beach, Va. āĀ The Maroon and Gold women's golf team put together a team record round score of seventeen-under par (263), paving the way to 2nd place in the Evie Odom Invitational. Freshman Luisamariana Mesones secured a runner-up placement and broke the University of Minnesota's 18-hole record with her third-round score of eight-under par (62), the same record she broke just last week.

College of Charleston finished in 1st place with a team score of three-over par (291-274-278--843) while the University of Minnesota ranked 2nd with a team score of five-over par (307-275-263--845).
Quotable:
"Today was by far one of the top highlights of my coaching career, to shoot 17 under as a team is a record breaking day!! We got off to a good start and it just got better and better as the round went on," said coach Rhyll Brinsmead. "This team feeds off good energy and the momentum we felt today was contagious. I am so proud of this group for staying the course this whole event and never losing faith in their ability to go low. Mariana has now shot course record 8 under par rounds in back to back events, and Bella posted her collegiate low round of 7 under. The seniors continue to lead by example and I cannot wait for our next event."
