The team’s four counting scorers combined to shoot 1-over 289 to make the 15-team cut for Monday’s final round of stroke play where an individual champion will be crowned. Virginia sits in 10th place at 12-over 876.

Three Cavaliers carded even-par 72 in the third round including Megan Propeck who leads the team in eighth place individually at 3-under 213. Amanda Sambach and Jaclyn LaHa each carded even-par 72 as well. Sambach ranks 28th individually at 2-over 218 while LaHa ranks 45th at 5-over 221.

Kennedy Swedick carded her best round of the tournament at 1-over 73 while Rebecca Skoler came in at 4-over 76.

The top eight teams after Monday’s final round of stroke play will advance to match play to decide a team champion. The Cavaliers will tee off starting at 2:01 p.m. from the 10th tee during the final round. Virginia will be paired with Tennessee and Oklahoma State.

Virginia is making its 15th NCAA Championships appearance in the 22-year history of the program. UVA’s best finishes at the NCAAs were back-to-back fourth-place showings in 2011 and 2012.
