NORMAN, Okla. – Florida State's Lottie Woad is in a tie for fourth place in the individual standings, and the No. 10 ranked Seminole Women's Golf team is in a tie for third place in the team standings after the first two rounds of the Schooner Fall Classic at the Belmar Golf Course. Woad and Charlotte Heath – who both earned First-Team All-American honors in 2023 -- carded identical scores of 66 to propel the Seminoles into the top three of the team standings heading into Monday's final round of the tournament.

Each of Florida State's four counting scores came in under par with Woad (66) and Heath (66) leading the way. Senior Alice Hodge and junior Kaylah Williams totaled a 1-under par scores of 69 as the Seminoles improved their team score by 10 strokes, and their position in the team standings by eight places. Florida State began the day tied for 11th in the team standings.

Woad and Heath both came within one stroke of tying the school record for a single round score as well as their single round career-best scores.

No. 2 ranked Wake Forest maintained its lead in the team standings and holds a 10-stroke lead over Virginia Tech heading into the final round. The Seminoles are in third place with an even par total of 570. Maddison Hinson-Tolchard of Oklahoma State, who carded a bogey-free 64 in the second round is the overall leader with a two-round total of 132. Florida State's Woad is just two strokes behind Lopez-Chacarra.

"Today was a good day," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "Our energy was up, and we put together a great round of golf. We were process-oriented and managed everything the course threw at us. I am proud of their resolve. We are going to get after it in the final round."

"Our goal was to shoot the round of the day, which we did."

Woad continued her stellar play in her first two events of the fall season and has put herself in position to win her second consecutive individual championship. She began her day with two birdies on her first three holes, made the turn at 2-under and finished her back nine at 2-under par. Her second round score marked the second time this season she finished a round at 4-under par; she carded a 4-under par 68 in the second round of the season opening ANNIKA Intercollegiate.

Woad has now carded three of her six scores this fall in the 60's and is a total of 14 holes under par for her first six rounds of the season.

Heath continued her hot start to the fall season with a score of 66. She is in a tie for 13th place with a two-round total of 138. She played sensational golf throughout the second round with four birdies and zero bogeys. Heath was three strokes under par after making the turn as she carded three consecutive birdies on holes four, five and six. She closed the round with three holes scored at even par.

The school-record for a low round score is 65. The score has been accomplished 10 times in school history including by Woad (in the 2002 Schooner Fall Classic) and once by Heath (in the 2021 Valspar Augusta Invitational).

Senior Alice Hodge and junior Kaylah Wiliams carded scores of 69 – both under par on the par 70 course at the University of Oklahoma.

Hodge is in a tie for 41st place with a two round total of 144. She began the round with three consecutive birdies and totaled six birdies during the round. She earned eight birdies in the first two rounds of the championship. Hodge's score of 69 marked the seventh round score in the 60's during her Florida State career.

Williams began the day with a birdie and totaled seven birdies during the second round. Her career-best score of 69 marked the fourth time in five rounds this fall that she has carded a score of 73 or better. Williams has now carded scores of 69 and 70 in the first two tournaments of the season. The best score of her first two seasons as a Seminole was a 72 at the 2023 NCAA Raleigh Regional Championship.

Florida State will play with Wake Forest and Virgina Tech in an All-ACC final group in Monday's final round.
