THE RUNDOWN
DURANGO, Colo. -- Midwestern State's
Emily Brennan needs one solid round to punch her ticket to the NCAA Division II Championships.
The freshman from Stoke-on-Trent, England carded a pair of birdies on her way to a 6-over 78 in the second round at the par-72, 6,348-yard Hillcrest Golf Course.
The score isn't usually impressive for the No. 19-ranked player in NCAA Division II as Brennan sports a season stroke average of 74.45, but the average score on the Hillcrest course stood at 79.9 and 78.8 over the opening two rounds of the tournament.
Brennan's 36-hole, 8-over total of 152 has her tied foro seventh on the individual leader board five strokes behind tournament leader Jocelyn Chee Yi Min of California Baptist (73-74 147/+3).
The top three finishing teams and the first three individual not on the advancing teams move to nationals set for May 16-19 at Bay Oaks Country Club in Houston.
MSU improved from an opening round 317 to fired a total of 315 in the second round to tie sixth with a 36-hole, 56-over tally of 632.
