Iacobelli Eyeing the Big Prize after Moving into First Place after Second Round

PACE, Fla. – With 36 holes now complete of the 72-hole, four round tournament, sophomore Florida Tech women’s golfer Daniela Iacobelli (Melbourne Beach, Fla.) is playing tough and steady with her first place
second round finish with 2-over par at 146. The 2007 NCAA Division II Women’s Golf
National Championships at Stonebrook Golf Club is Par-72 and 6,022 yardage course.

“I feel confidant that winning is a possibility but I am currently just taking it one shot at a time.” said Iacobelli.

Panthers’ Iacobelli played like a true champion today pulling off a remarkable second day round only 2-over par on one of the hottest days thus far this
year. With conditions reaching 105 in the sun and dealing with bugs, Iacobelli managed only to go up after a first round second place score of 72 she
pulled off a 74 for a piece of the top spot.

“She is hanging in there like a trooper while hitting the ball better than I have ever seen her hit,” said head coach Janie Farina. “The difference is her
short game which is rapidly improving every day.”

with a two-over 146. After both golfers shot a 72 on Wednesday, Bergeon and Iacobelli each shot a second round 74.
