The Lady Paladins shaved eight-shots off their first round score, but still lost a position as Furman tries to move up into the top-four at the Stillwater Regional.

Sophia Burnett is currently the top individual Furman golfer at 4-over par in a tie for 13th place.

Southern Conference Player of the Year Anna Morgan shot a second round 3-over par 75 and slipped back into a tie for 18th place at 5-over par.

While the Lady Paladins as a team may have a very big hill to climb in order to advance to the finals, Burnett currently is third among golfers whose teams may not advance from the Regional.

The top individual, from a non-advancing team, will get the opportunity to compete in the finals.

Tulane’s Carla Bernat and Campbell’s Anna Nordfors are tied for ninth place at 3-over par, one shot ahead of Burnett going into the final round.
