Florida International Maintains Lead in Lady Eagle Invitational
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Florida International still leads the Lady Eagle Invitational,
though North Texas and others have dented FIU's advantage. Individual leader Michelle
Simpson of FIU also tapered her first-round performance. After a course-record 69 on
opening day, the senior carded an 80, but leads teammate Ellen Dunne by a stroke.
Florida International turned in a 317 on day two, while North Texas scored 313 and only
trails by four strokes. Arkansas-Little Rock is also in the hunt, going into tomorrow's final
round behind by 10 strokes.
Southern Miss matched its first-round score of 327 in today's performance and advanced
in the standings, sharing sixth place with Troy State. Ofelia Lopez now leads the Lady
Eagles with 82-78 -- 160, tied for 15th. Jamie Sims still stands with a share of 17th, and
Marella Canepa is tied for 31st. Michelle Zorn holds a piece of 40th, and Emily Black is
59th. Individual performer Brena Quaranto score well and is tied for 25th.
