theirs, and Tennessee Tech is in sixth place in the combined team

(1,213) third, Wofford (1,224) fourth, USC Upstate fifth (1,241)
and Tech (1,251) sixth.
The tournament, being held at Stono Country Club near Charleston,
will award a men's and women's team title, as well as a combined

In the women's competition, the Golden Eagles had mixed
performances Monday and find themselves in sixth place.
Megan Bradford was the long Tech player to find consistency between
her two rounds, firing a 78 in her first round and an 81 in the

Madison Denman was the only Golden Eagle to improve her score,
following a first round 86 with a 79. Carley Rhyne and Ashley
Spangler each opened with an 86 and rebounded with a 79, and all

Carson is the fifth member of Tech's lineup, finishing Monday in
33rd place after shooting 78 and 89.
College of Charleston leads the women's standings, shooting
307-297?604 on its home course. Wofford (616) is second followed by
James Madison (625), Gardner-Webb (626) and Houston Baptist (632)
to round out the top five.
