Freshman Brooke Gelinas enjoyed a banner weekend as she posted her first collegiate top-three individual finish as she tied for third overall at minus-1 215. Gelinas carded a pair of 1-under 71s on Saturday morning and Sunday, which bracketed a 1-over 73 in round two on Saturday afternoon, on her way to breaking the UT school 54-hole scoring record by two strokes.
 
The freshman co-led the 105-player field with 14 birdies and penciled in 28 pars over her three loops. Gelinas finished the 54-hole event tied for second in par-4 scoring (E, 4.00), t-12^th in par-3 scoring (3.08) and t-15^th in par-5 scoring (4.83).
