DESTIN, Fla. - Senior Marie Harper led Maryland with a second-round 73 on Saturday, leading the Terrapins with a 24th-place finish individually at the Chrysler ACC/SEC Challenge women's golf tournament hosted by Florida State.
Sunday's final round was cancelled due to inclement weather and tournament officials used the 36-hole totals from Friday and Saturday as the official tournament results.
Harper (West Point, Va.) covered the par-71 Raven Course just 2-over on Saturday's round after posting an 80 on Friday. Her 36-hole total of 153 tied her for 24th with seven other players.
Maryland played consistently as a group, as all five Terrapins finished within five strokes. The Terps finished ninth as a team at 311-307-618. Maryland was seven shots behind host Florida State and only eight shots out of seventh place, as Alabama finished at 610.
Freshman Jessica Reno (Wilmington, Del.) finished in a tie for 31st for the Terps, leading her teammates with an opening-round 75 and following with a 79 for a 154 total. Kristen Shew (Hockessin, Del.) posted rounds of 79 and 76 to tie for 35th at 155, while Kate Stepanek (Guilford, Conn.) was tied for 41st at 157 after a 78 and 79. Katie Redeker (Pepper Pike, Ohio) was tied for 45th after rounds of 79 and a 36-hole total of 158.
