MARICOPA, Ariz. – Junior Kristin Le and senior Annie Freman both finished among the top seven leading Santa Clara women's golf to a fifth-place finish with a team score of 19-over 595 after the first two rounds of the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic.
Le scored a second round 1-under 71 to end the first 36 holes at even-par 144, tied with a pair of golfers for fourth place. Freman, a two-time winner at this event, carded a 71 over the first 18 holes and a 2-over 74 over the second round to end her day tied for seventh at 1-over 145.
Sacramento State's Julia Becker and UC Riverside's Jakeishya Le are tied for the individual lead at 2-under 142.
The Broncos scored consecutive sub-300 rounds for the first time this spring with their 296 and 298. They are nine shots off the lead in fifth place at 19-over 595. UC Irvine shot a 290 to grab the second round lead at 10-over 586, two shots better than Sacramento State.
"I saw plenty of good shots today," head coach Krystal Kelly said. "We made a good amount of birdies, which was really fun, and we scored well, however, we probably should have been 10 shots lower on our second round total."
Freshman Chloe Wong matched her career-low with a first round 2-over 74, ending the day in a tie for 28th at 7-over 151.
With rounds of 79 and 77, junior Isabella Salant tied for 55th at 12-over 156. Kyleigh Moreno sits in a tie for 70th at 14-over 158 following rounds of 78 and 80.
Competing as an individual in her fourth event of the year, freshman Isabella Seeburger scored a 173 total.
Friday's final round on the 6,131-yard, par-72 Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club begins with a shotgun start at 7:45 a.m. PDT. "We're looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow," Kelly concluded.
