In the second round, Vicario showed out with a 71, 1-under-par score. This was one shot off the low score of the tournament.

Rounding out the top five for the Wolfpack was junior Lea Klimentova with a score of 37-over par, which put her at 58th place. She put together scores of 84, 81 and 88.

Redshirt sophomore Nicole Kramer competed unattached for the Wolfpack and placed tied for 55th at 30-over par. She was consistent with her scoring all weekend long with scores of 81, 83 and 82.
