MIAMI, Fla. ----- Junior Brooke Mangan fired a second-round 81 to improve to 12th overall, leading the Lady Blazers after two rounds of play at the FIU/Pat Bradley Invitational. As a team, UAB sits in seventh overall with a 651 (328-323), improving one spot in the team standings.
"I was glad to see some improvement, especially from our players who didn't perform well in the first round," UAB golf head coach Kim Wilcox said. "We were able to deal with the conditions a little better this afternoon. Hopefully we can use some momentum and make a strong finish on Sunday."
Mangan has a two-round score of 15-over par 159 (78-81); however, it was senior Katie Kane who made the biggest leap on the leader board. After opening the invitational with a 92, Kane fired a second round score of 74 - the third lowest score of the day in the field of 70 golfers - to move into a tie for 29th overall with a 166.
Junior Liz Scweihs in tied for 18th with a 162 (80-82), while freshman Martha Hudson rounds out the Lady Blazers with a 193 (97-96).
UAB will complete the 2003 fall season with the final round of the FIU/Pat Bradley Invitational on Sunday, November 2.
