Freshman Emma Allen (Southampton, England) is tied for second individually at 5-under par after shooting 69 (-3) and 70 (-2) on Monday.
"As a team, we had plenty of birdie opportunities that we unfortunately didn't connect on in the second round," head coach Stephanie Priesmeyer said. "Emma got off to a fast start in the first round and also came back strong on her final holes in the afternoon to lead our team. Tomorrow is a 1-day tournament now and we can make up the strokes that we are behind and contend for the title."
