It’s Monday, Florida State fans. As your week begins anew, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State’s women’s golf advanced to play a fourth round at the NCAA Championships in Stillwater on Sunday, but to move on to match play, the Seminoles have some work to do.
Although FSU was among the top 15 teams in Stillwater, it fell three spots from sixth place to ninth and will need to get to eighth to partake it match play on Tuesday. As a team, Florida State is +30 — three strokes back of eighth-place Kent State and four back of seventh-place Stanford.
Of the teams to advance to the fourth round, only Louisville had a worse Sunday than Florida State. Alabama leads overall at -2 as a team.
Individually, Kim Metraux leads Florida State at -1, which is tied for fifth place overall. Her sister, Morgane Metraux, is tied for 10th at even par. Alabama’s Cheyenne Knight and Wake Forest’s Jennifer Kupcho are tied for the individual lead at -7. The fourth round takes place on Monday.
