The Trojans were in a solid position to hold down the No. 4 spot on the leaderboard, heading to No. 18 following a pair of birdies from Victoria Stutts and Mathilda Ringblom on the par-5 16th. However, the Trojans shot 3-over on the 18th, while South Alabama and Southern Miss were even on their final holes of the day.
Stutts carded five birdies on the day as she shot 2-under for her team-leading sixth round under-par this season, while Troy's 594 as a team is tied for its third-best 36-hole score of the year. Stutts climbed 11 spots on the leaderboard into a tie for eighth place at even for the week.
Troy is a collective 12-under on the par 5s for the week, tops in the field.
Alyssa Mercado made the biggest jump up the leaderboard as she rocketed from 44th place entering Tuesday into a tie for 23rd by the end of the day. The Troy senior birdied twice on the front nine and finished the day even after shooting 5-over on Monday.
Laura Fangmeyer is tied for 34th place after dropping a 79 in the second round, followed by Ringblom in a tie for 41st place after she shot 77 on the day and Manya Saini in a tie for 49th place after she carded an 81.
No. 33 Georgia Southern holds a seven-shot advantage over Coastal Carolina and ULM is a shot back of the Chanticleers in third place. South Alabama and Southern Miss are tied for the all-important fourth position at 17-over par (eight shots back of Coastal), with Troy and Georgia State two shots back at 19-over and Texas State sitting at 24-over.
