Mercer, a first-year from Bigfork, Mont., helped lead nationally ninth-ranked Washington and Lee to a new program record scoring day for the second time this season at the Generals Cup Invitational hosted by W&L. Mercer finished in a tie for fourth at 7-over 149 following two rounds on the par 71 layout set to 5,513 on The Cascades course at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va. She carded a 6-over 77 in round one, but recovered over the final 18 holes for a 1-over 72 to mark her best collegiate round. She finished six shots back of medalist Sriya Muparaju from Carnegie Mellon University. As a team, Washington and Lee placed second with a new 36-hole program record of 30-over. That included team rounds of 297 and 301 with the former total ranking as the best in W&L and ODAC history. The Generals finished three strokes ahead of nationally top-ranked Carnegie Mellon.
