Freshman Maria Balcazar had an up and down day but tallied four birdies including a stretch of three-in-a-row between the 12th and 14th hole. She made the turn at +5 but played the next five holes at -4 to get back in the mix, finishing with a +4 (76) on the afternoon.
Sophomore Nicolette Donovan notched a +3 (75) while senior Johanna Larsson shot +8 (80).
