LAKE ELMO, Minn. – Florida State sophomore All-American Lottie Woad shot an immaculate 4-under par 68 and is currently in a tie for third place in the individual standings after two rounds of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate presented by 3M at the Royal Golf Club.  She begins play in Wednesday's final round just one shot off the lead with a 6-under par total of 138.  The Seminoles are in seventh place with a 6-under par two-day total of 570.

The greatest illustration of the incredibly strong field of this year's ANNIKA is displayed as nine of the 12 squads have recorded under par score totals through 36 holes of play.  Florida State is one of seven teams in the field that have carded under par team scores in the first and second rounds. 

South Carolina continues to hold the lead in the 12-team field with a 21-under par total, which includes a 6-under par round two score. Woad sits one stroke back off of leaders Mimi Rhodes (Wake Forest) and Maylis Lamoure (South Carolina). Rhodes and Lamoure each birdied one of their last two holes to take a share of the lead at 7-under par.

"I feel the more you see this course, the more you understand it and where to hit it," said Head Coach Amy Bond.  "I think we are still figuring out the course, though we read the greens much better today.  I am very happy with the way we have started; they have rolled with the punches and played well in the chilly Minnesota weather."

Woad started off her day on the back-nine with back-to-back birdies. Just as on Monday, Woad birdied her opening hole to get her momentum going. Following four pars on the next four holes, Woad encountered her first bogey on the 16th hole but quickly recovered on hole No. 17 - the 528-yard par 5, with a birdie to return to 2-under.

Her scoring pattern repeated itself for Woad on the front-nine. After another pair of back-to-back birdies, Woad bogeyed her second par three but returned with her sixth birdie of the day on the following hole.

After her last bogey on the seventh hole, Woad finished her second set of 18 holes at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate with a birdie – her team-leading seventh of the round, to card a 4-under par 68. 

Woad leads the 60-player field in birdies, carding 11 over two rounds. She joins Seminole freshman Bella Bugg as one of two Seminoles to birdie hole No. 1 in both rounds.  Statistically, hole No. 1 is playing as the most difficult hole on the course this week. 

Junior Kaylah Williams was off to another hot start in round two, carding six straight pars followed by three birdies in a row on holes 16, 17, and 18.  

Williams carded her first bogey in 24 holes on her second nine of the day. In her first 24 holes, Williams was eight-under par with six birdies and an eagle. After her birdie on hole No. 2, the 516-yard par 5, Williams birdied hole No. 5 for her fourth birdie of the round.

Although Williams carded her second double-bogey of the tournament on the sixth hole of the front-nine, she responded with a birdie on the eighth hole, her final one of the day. Williams finished her final nine with a bogey to shoot a 1-under par 71.

Williams is tied for 13th in the individual standings with a 1-under par total of 141 – the best 36-hole score of her Florida State career. 

Senior Charlotte Heath has displayed her consistency throughout both rounds of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate. In Tuesday's round, Heath started off the day with a bogey, but did not falter once more in her remaining 17 holes.

After a 1-over par back-nine, Heath shot 2-under on the front-nine with birdies on holes No. 3 and No. 8. Heath matched her nines from yesterday to total a 1-under par 71. She is at the top of the stat leaderboard, carding 30 pars in 36 holes.

Heath is in a tie for 15th place in the individual standings with a 2-under par score of 142. 

Senior Alice Hodge was one of three Seminoles to lower their second round score, shooting a 1-over par 73 compared to round two's 76. The difference was seen in Hodge's front-nine, saving two strokes from Monday's nine by carding only one bogey and a birdie.

Hodge persevered throughout the day after starting off round two with three consecutive bogeys. In the next 11 holes, Hodge was 3-under par to return to even-par. Hodge's 1-over par round and 5-over par tournament total places her T46.

Bugg shot a 5-over par 77 in round two of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate. Two strokes better than Monday's round, Bugg is becoming more confident in her collegiate tournament debut.

Florida State is a combined 12-under par on par 5's, averaging a 4.70. The five-player team has totaled 111 pars, 34 birdies, and one eagle.

Florida State will play with Duke and Virginia in an All-ACC final trio in Wednesday's final round.  The Seminoles, Blue Devils and Cavaliers begin play at 9:35 ET from hole No. 10.
