36-HOLE SCORES & LIVE SCORING | WEDNESDAY PAIRINGS
 
DAVIE, Fla. – The 44th-ranked UWF women's golf team turned in a 312 on the second day of the NCAA Women's Golf South Regional at Grande Oaks Golf Club on Tuesday.
 
UWF moved two spots down to 11th place at 617 with 18 holes remaining in the team's first regional appearance since 2017. No. 5 Anderson moved into first place at 589, followed by No. 3 Limestone, who turned in the low round of the tournament at 289 for a 591 36-hole score. No. 4 Nova Southeastern and No. 16 Saint Leo are tied for third place at 598, followed a shot back by No. 6 Barry. The top five teams after Wednesday's third round will advance to the NCAA Championships.
 
UWF played both nines at 14-over-par with sophomore Payton Pacheco's two on the par 3, 11th, the lone birdie for the team on the day. The Argonauts had three scores in the 70s but also had to count a round of 82.
 
Junior Solange Gomez is still the top placing UWF player through two rounds, sitting tied for 27th at 151. With the team outside of the top five, Gomez is three shots out of being among the top two individuals not on the top five teams, which would grant her a second-consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. She made 12 pars and six bogeys on Tuesday.
 
Junior Ronja Taipale dropped two strokes from Monday to post the low round of the day for UWF, shooting a 76 to move into the top 40 at 154.
 
Freshman Alegria Lopez is tied for 60th at 158, while classmate Alia Scotka is a shot back at 159 in 62nd place. Pacheco is in 64th at 163.
 
UWF will open Wednesday's final round at 8 a.m. Eastern Time, playing off No. 10 with Columbus State and UNC Pembroke.
