BIRMINGHAM – One day after shooting a school record 285, the UAB women's golf team once again shot 285 in the second round of the USA Intercollegiate and has a 10-stroke lead entering Monday's final 18 holes at Robert Trent Jones Magnolia Crossings Course.
The Blazers are six-under after 36 holes and lead Houston Baptist and North Florida who are tied for second place at +4. Troy (+5), Arkansas State (+6) and WKU (+6) round out the top five.
"I am very happy with how consistent we've played the past two days," said head coach Ryan Ashburn. "We've come together as a team and we've given ourselves a chance to win and that's all we can ask of our team. We look forward to another great day tomorrow."
Senior Tia Teiniketo is the individual leader at -9. Teiniketo opened the tournament by tying a school record with a five-under 67, and followed that up today with a four-under 68.
Teiniketo has a two-shot lead over Sarah Arnold of WKU who is at -7 as those two have separated from the rest of the field.
Senior Kenna Hughes and sophomore Chiara Vikkula are both tied for 11th overall at even par. Hughes has carded consecutive even par rounds of 72, while Vikkula was one under on Saturday and one over today.
Sophomore Caroline Waldrop moved up 19 spots in the second round with an even par 72. She is tied for 24th overall at +3.
Junior Stephenie Fowler rounded out UAB's effort on Sunday with a three over 75 and she is currently tied for 57th overall.
The Blazers tee off on Monday morning at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start. Fans can click here to follow live results.
