NOTABLES:
 
Longwood hopped Presbyterian on the day, moving up one spot into 12^th in the 16 team field. The team sits 10 shots back of cracking the top 10 on a course that has been difficult through two rounds. Only one player in the field has posted a round below par.
 
On the day, Jennings was the biggest riser for Longwood, climbing up 23 spots into a tie for 33^rd in the 90-player field. She trimmed nine strokes from her day one score, and she had a pair of birdies and 13 pars in her 18 holes.
 
Emma Landis also climbed 17 spots into a tie for 44^th by knocking off seven strokes from her opening round. She tallied 14 pars on the day.
 
Ester Choi had a pair of birdies for Longwood and sits in between Landis and Jennings as part of a five-way tie for 35^th.
 
WHAT THEY SAID:
 
"Another struggle of a round today, but that was true for all teams," said Longwood Head Coach Megan Weaver. "The small, firm greens leave such a small landing area. When the individual leader of the tournament is three over, that shows the difficulty of the course. We mentally did not accept that and instead let little mistakes turn into big numbers."
 
UP NEXT:
 
Longwood plays the third and final round of the Low Country Intercollegiate on Sunday morning.
