Starting at the back, Arevalo holed her approach on the par-4 13th hole for her first eagle and followed it up with a birdie on the next hole to reach the turn on 3-under.
She made another eagle on the par-5 fifth and birdied the next two holes before dropping a shot on 8, her only bogey.
Arevalo missed only two fairways and two greens as she climbed to joint 35th.
