Returning to tournament play after not playing in the first round was Borina Sutikto who shot an impressive 1-under 71. She went 2-under through her first nine then came in at 1-over. The freshmen duo of Rachael Wang and Audrey Brust continued their strong play today, both firing rounds of even-par 72. Wang is sitting in a tie for 5th at 1-over overall and Brust is in tied-11th place at 3-over.
Lauren Shew was able to contribute her round of 2-over 74 to the team total today as she went out in 1-under on the front nine then went 3-over on the back. She is now sitting in T19 at 7-over. Claire Choi had an unfortunate double bogey on her first hole of the day but was just 2-over through the rest of the second round to post a 4-over 76. Following an even-par opening round, she is in a tie for 13th at 4-over.
