Now that's what I like to see...the team not fading in the last round. Keep that up and they'll be good to go.

Rough day for the Women's team. In fact it was rough for more than half the field. 12 of 20 shot 10 Over or worse. Somehow Pepperdine (9 Under) and Colorado (Even) were the only teams not over Par.

Rutgers stayed in 12th after a +14. Even the usually steady Leigha Devine was +9.

After 2 Rounds

T21 Lucrezia Rossettin +3
T34 Rikki Nordvik +5
T57 Leigha Devine +7
T62 Maeve Rossi +9
T84 Nicole Ewing +15

Pepperdine -12
Colorado -1
Fresno St +5

Rutgers +20

Final Round today
