GAME DAY CENTRAL

Jonesborough, Tenn. – Led by Lorie Warren’s second round score of 69, the Belmont women’s golf team remains in third place after two rounds of the Atlantic Sun Championship held Tuesday at The Ridges Golf Club in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Warren’s score also catapulted her into the lead of the individual standings.

On a sunny and cool day in Northeast Tennessee, the Bruins shot a solid team score of 306 to stay in third place at 626. They made up some ground on second place Campbell, who shot 310, and now stand just one shot behind the two-time defending champions. However, they are 29 shots behind tournament leader ETSU, who stand at 597.

The Bruins’ solid round was highlighted by the play of junior Lorie Warren. The Hendersonville native posted a three-under par round of 69, which ties her own school record for lowest 18-hole score by a Belmont golfer. At one point during her round, she birdied six of eight holes, including four straight on holes 8, 9, 10, and 11. Her 147 total for 36-holes vaulted her into the individual lead over first round leader Laura Jansone and Natalia Giraldo, both of ETSU, by two shots.

The other four Belmont golfers are among the top-25. Senior Rebekah Wilson is tied for eighth at 156 after posting a 76 on Tuesday. Junior Ashleigh Garman is tied for 12th at 161. Freshman Lauren Spurlock is tied for 14th at 163, while junior Lauren Oeser is tied for 21st at 165.
