Georgia Southern is coming off a 12th place finish at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in Athens. Louise Reau used a 67 in the third round to finish tied for fifth at four-under par. The freshman tallied ten birdies and was bogey-free on the back nine in rounds one and two. Regina Plascencia finished T29 shooting 73-75-75 tallying seven total birdies and was bogey free on the back nine in rounds one and two. The field featured five top-25 teams and seven within the top-50.
