Senior Lauren Walsh led the way for the Deacs, shooting a career-low 66 in her second round. Two birdies on her first nine holes and five more on her second, including a birdie on the par-five 18th, helped her jump 13 spots on the individual leaderboard to be in contention for the title.

Birdies on her first two holes of the day boosted her performance from the beginning, and three more before the round was over maintained her position.
Senior Rachel Kuehn and junior Mimi Rhodes each improved from their first-round scores, with Kuehn carding an even par for the day and Rhodes finishing one over on the round.
