The Trojans finished the spring opener with a 34-over 898, their best team score of the 2020-21 season.  Krnacova carded a 2-under 70 over the final round, a new career-best and the second-lowest round of the season for the Trojans.
 
Back to Bama
Little Rock is getting familiar with the drive to Alabama this season as this week's event will mark the Trojan's third tournament in the Yellowhammer State in 2020-21. Little Rock opened the year with a sixth-place showing at the South Alabama Intercollegiate in Mobile, then fnished 10th at the Hoover Invitational in Hoover, both of which were in September. After this week's event, the Trojans will stay in Alabama, traveling down to Gulf Shores for the Bama Beach Bash Friday through Sunday.
 
Shooting Low
Viktoria Krnacova's 2-under 70 was the fifth individual par-or-better round of the year for Little Rock and the second-lowest of the season. Malena Austerslaatt has gone par-or-better three times this year, including a 69 at the Hoover Invitational, while Sydney Scraba posted a 71 in the second round of the USA Intercollegiate.
