The three-day, 54-hole tournament is being held at the par 72, 6,154-yard Stonebrook Golf Club and hosted by the University of West Florida.
Florida Southern continues to hold onto 36-hole lead as the Lady Mocs lead by seven shots with 598, including Monday's 296, the only sub-300 round of the tournament.
