UNT Women Climb Leaderboard in Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The UNT women's golf team continued play at The Blessings Collegiate on Tuesday and climbed two spots on the leaderboard into sixth place, four shots back of No. 5 South Carolina, behind strong days from sophomore Mason Lewis and senior Emilie Ricaud, who shot an 3-under-par 69 and enters the final round on Wednesday in a tie for 12th place at 2-over par. Lewis is tied for fifth after her 2-under 70, thanks to three straight birdies on 15, 16 and 17, put her at 2-under for the tournament.

Ricaud and Lewis each tallied seven birdies in the round on the par-72, 6,503-yard Blessings Golf Club. Senior Ellie Roth sits just outside the top-25 at 6-over par in a tie for 26th. UNT shot 1-over as a team - 15 shots better than the team shot in Monday's first round.

The event features a unique twist in that men's and women's teams from each participating school are playing and a combined team trophy will be awarded aside from the men's and women's crowns. The teams play in fivesomes with everyone from each school playing together. It is also featured on Golf Channel and Peacock, with live broadcasts each day from 3:30-6:30 p.m.

The Mean Green will tee off for Wednesday's final round from the 10th hole at 7:45 a.m.

Fans can follow the event live on Golfstat and can follow the program throughout the year on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
