GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Facing one of the fiercest fields in collegiate golf, the Mississippi State women's golf team completed second-round action at the SunTrust Gator Women's Invitational at the Mark Bostick Golf Course with a 315 on Saturday.

Second-ranked Alabama and No. 23 Florida are currently tied atop the tourney leaderboard at 17-over-par 577. The host team used a tournament-best round of 283 to pull even with the Crimson Tide during the second round. 10^th-ranked Georgia trails the pair of teams by five strokes for third.

South Florida Bull Christina Miller stole the top spot on the individual leaderboard from Emilie Burger of Georgia with her second-round, 3-under-par 67. The sophomore and Ole Miss-transfer holds a two-stroke, 136-138, lead over Burger.

For the Lady Bulldogs individually, freshman standout Ally McDonald refocused and turned in a 76 on day two to bring her tourney total to 154. Fellow freshmen Rica Tse and Elena Warren also have carded 154's thus far in the event.
