Parsells, playing in her home state, was GU's top finisher as she tied for third overall with an even-par 144. She was the individual leader after the first round when she tied a Georgetown record and her career best with a 5-under par 67.
Following the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational, the Hoyas will return to the East Coast to close out the fall season at the Blue Hen Invitational, hosted by the University of Delaware, Oct. 20-21.
