For the second straight day, Devine played a consistent round of golf to lead Rutgers. She put in another 14 pars, while rolling in a birdie on the 8th hole to card a 2-over 73 and bring her to 4-over for the tournament. 

Rikke Nordvik shot a 3-over 74 thanks to a pair of birdies on the 3rd and 10th holes and 14 total pars. 

After an 11-over 82 in the first round, Maeve Rossi rebounded to shoot a 4-over 75 and move up the leaderboard. Rossi finished her round with 12 pars a birdie on the par-4 8th. 

“We did a better job today as a team managing ourselves around the golf course and getting the ball in the correct positions,” head coach Kari Williams said. “The course played a little easier today and we took advantage of a few opportunities. Leigha’s game was steady and Rikke and Maeve did a nice job of bouncing back for us. Tomorrow we have the chance to come out fighting and finish our season on a high note.”
