Lebanon, Ohio – All five Falcon golfers lowered their scores from round one to round two on Saturday, as the Bowling Green State University women's golf team overcame the rain, the wind and the cold to shoot a second round 306, +18, the second lowest team score of the day, to move up two spots on the team leaderboard heading into the third and final round of play of the 2015 Mid-American Conference Women's Golf Championships on Sunday, April 26.
The Falcons jumped two places, moving from eighth-place to sixth-place overall on Saturday with their round of 306, +18, to head into the third day of play with a 36-hole team score of 634, +58. The 306 was a total of 22 strokes lower than BGSU's team score of 328, 40, on the first day of play on Friday.
"I am so proud of our team today! Obviously our scores improved, but it was more about how hard they fought and played much smarter golf with confidence," commented head coach Stephanie Young. "That is why there is not any other team I would rather coach."
BGSU's strong round on Saturday put the Falcons just six strokes behind fifth-place Akron (628, +52) and only 12 shots out of the top-three.
Senior Patricia Holt posted a second round 75, +3, to move into third-place overall with her 36-hole score of 152, +8. The Texas native, who carded a first round 77, +5, on Friday, was consistent throughout the day, totaling 14 pars and a birdie on hole No. 12 on Saturday.
Holt is just three shots behind Wad Phaewchimplee of Kent State, who is in second-place overall with a 36-hole score of 149, +5, and only four strokes behind the tournament leader Josee Doyon of Kent State who is sits atop of the leaderboard with a 36-hole score of 148, +4.
Breaking into the top-15 was fellow senior Shelby Wilson with her second round score of 77, +5. Combined with her first round 80, +8, Wilson slipped into a tie for 14th-place overall with a 36-hole score of 157, +13. Wilson led BGSU with two birdies, one on hole No. 3 and another on hole No. 14, to go along with nine pars on the day.
Making the biggest improvement from day one to day two was sophomore Mikayla Baer. After posting a first round 88, +16, yesterday, Baer shot a BGSU low round 74, +2, to jump up to 29th-place overall heading into the final round of play with her 36-hole score of 162, +18. The sophomore recorded a birdie on hole No. 11 and a total of 14 pars over her second round, as her 74, +2, was tied for the lowest individual round of the day.
Juniors Lily Bartell and Hannah Lewis each posted improved rounds from Friday, as Bartell turned in a second round 18-hole score of 80, +8, while Lewis shot an 81, +9. With her rounds of 83 and 80, Bartell will enter Sunday's round of play in a tie for 34th-place overall with a two-round combined score of 163, +19. Lewis' rounds of 88 and 81 place her in a tie for 42nd overall with her 36-hole score of 169, +25.
