The Golden Eagles finished the first day of the event, hosted by South Alabama, with a total team score of 656, tying for 10^th overall with one round to play. Tech fired a first round score of 324, coming right back to finish the day with a 332.

Leading the way for the Golden Eagles through two rounds was sophomore Whitney Robertson. The Clarksville native totaled an 81+79=160 scorecard to tie for 24^th overall. Right behind her teammate, junior Megan Williamson carded an 83 and 79 for a total of 162 and tie for 31^st.

Ranking next for the Tech squad were freshman Anna Cunningham and sophomore Haley Davidson. A native of Cookeville, Cunningham concluded her day at 169 after rounds of 79 and 90 to tie for 52^nd. Davidson tied for 57^th following her 89+84=173.
