GLENCOE, Ala. (March 11, 2024) – Freshman Helen Brodahl dropped nine strokes off her first round score and carded a second round 78 to highlight a Stonehill College team that cut 20 shots off its team score on Monday and moved up one spot in the standings heading into Tuesday's final around at the Chris Banister Intercollegiate, presented by Grub Mart, and hosted by Jacksonville State University on the 5,890-yard, par 72 layout at the Silver Lakes Course on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail today.
Brodahl started her second round strong, recording five-straight pars before a birdie on the par-4 sixth hole had her one under par for her round. She followed up a two-over-par 38 on the front with a four-over 40 on the back nine for her team-best round of 78. Brodahl moved up two spots on the leaderboard to 36th place overall heading into Tuesday's third and final round.
Sophomore Jaelyn DeBoise also sliced nine shots off her first-round score with an 83 today. She collected nine pars and shot four-over-par 40 on the front nine today and remained 40th on the leaderboard.

Illinois State is second (307-300=607), with host Jacksonville State University posting the only other team score under 300 today for third (312-296=608). Stonehill (357-331=688) moved past South Alabama (356-336=692) in the team standings by four strokes heading to Tuesday.
