Sophomore Melanie Green led USF and tallied her first collegiate win at the tournament. Green was one of only two players in the entire field to shoot par or better.

Teams will play 36 holes on Monday with an 8 a.m. shotgun start, and conclude the tournament with 18 holes on Tuesday with 9 a.m. tee times. Tee times and pairing will be released soon
