UHV freshman Brooke Brasseaux and sophomore Becky Benchot were also recognized among the top-50 in scoring average.
Brasseaux posted a pair of 77s to tie for fifth at the TLU event and is tied for 29th in the rankings with a 77.0 scoring average. Benchot posted rounds of 77-80 and was tied for 47th in scoring with a 78.50 average.
SCAD-Savannah currently holds the top spot in the head-to-head team rankings.
