PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL (April 4, 2016)--Middle Tennessee (575) leads by two heading into Tuesday's Web.com Intercollegiate final round at Marsh Landing Country Club. Middle Tennessee will be looking for their second victory of the season and first since the end of October when they won the Blue Raider Invitational. Toledo (577) in second place is hot on their heels while Chattanooga (581) and Campbell (581) are T3.
The Blue Raiders have three players in the top 20 after 36-holes of play on Monday. 2015 All-CUSA first teamer Avery George (E) and redshirt senior Emily Miller (E) are T8. Junior Samantha Gotcher (+2) is couple of shots further back and T16. In 2014 Gotcher became the first active Middle Tennessee player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open since Taryn Durham in 2007.
Campbell junior Nadine White (-6) leads in the medalist pursuit. She posted rounds of 70-68 on day one. Her second round 4-under-par saw White birdie five and bogey just one. Nadine looking for her second win of the season birdied three consecutive holes from No. 10-No. 12.
