CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Mississippi State women's golf will enter the final round of the Chapel Hill Regional five strokes above the projected NCAA Championship cutline, as the Bulldogs sit in fifth place at 9-over par through the first two days.

The junior duo of Avery Weed and Samantha Whateley both shot even par rounds during the second day of action. Weed collected a team-leading four birdies, while Whateley only carded two bogeys, the least of any Bulldog in the second round of action.

Weed will sit in a tie for eighth entering round three at 1-under par. She is one of 11 golfers to be under par in the event. Back-to-back even par rounds for Whateley puts her right outside of the top 10, as she is tied for 12th.

The top five teams in the leaderboard at the end of tomorrow's round will advance to the NCAA Championship later this month. At 9-over, the Bulldogs are five strokes over sixth place team Virginia. Kent State and Michigan State are in a tie for seventh at 18-over, nine strokes behind Mississippi State.

State will take the course one final time at Chapel Hill tomorrow morning, beginning at 7 a.m. CT on hole 10. Live scoring for the Chapel Hill Regional is available at scoreboard.clippd.com.
