Meanwhile, Hannah Stewart (47^th) and Torie Yeomans (49^th) wrapped up Montreat's scoring with a 110 and 112, respectively.
 
Montreat improved its team score from Monday to Tuesday by shaving 18 strokes off its round-to-round mark. All four Cavs bettered their individual tallies during the second round, including Fraley, who capitalized on her trio of pars and a birdie to card an 87. Fraley's 2-day total of 177 left her in a tie for 30^th individually.
 
Coyle collected five pars on day two as she registered a 100 on her final 18 holes. The Harrison, Ohio native finished 43^rd overall with her final total of 201. Stewart and Yeomans each recorded a 104 on the second day of action to place 46^th and tied for 47^th, respectively.
