RESULTS

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Sophomore Naomi Mitchell tied the lowest round of her Spiders career with an even-par 72 in Saturday's second round and is tied for 10^th on the individual leaderboard with 18 holes to play at the Lady Paladin Invitational.

One day after making double bogey on the par-four 18^th hole, Mitchell made birdie on Saturday to match the 72 (E) she fired in the opening round of last October's stroke-play event against Columbia for the best round of her collegiate career. Mitchell will enter Sunday's final round six shots back of leader Lorena Tseng of Tulsa and only three shots out of second place in the field of 90.

"Naomi has really played solid and been mentally strong," said coach Calle Nielson. "She's really staying in the moment which I have loved watching!"

As a team, the Spiders are tied for 10^th among the 16 teams competing in the event. Richmond shot a team score of 310 (+22) on Saturday and is at 610 (+34) through two rounds, tied with Georgia Southern. "I want to see us put together two good nines together because they can do it," said Nielson of her hopes for Sunday's final round.

The Spiders lineup will begin teeing off at 9:00 AM on the 10^th hole Sunday morning.
