Tech was once again led by sophomore Sofia Garcia, who is in first place on the individual leaderboard following a 9-under performance in her first two rounds. Garcia recorded seven birdies to just one bogey in her first round as she shot a team-leading 66. She also notched eight birdies in her second round, also a team best. Cecilie Nielsen finished her day at 4-under, after notching six birdies in the first round and two in the second. Freshman Anna Dong, who is carrying the Folds of Honor bag for the Red Raiders this week, completed her day at 2-under.

Louisa Brunt also concluded play under par, as she tallied seven birdies on the day en route to a final mark of 1-under. Senior Mami Yamamoto rounded out the scoring for Tech with an even par performance.
