THACKERVILLE, Okla. -- Kodi Nolen carded five birdies on the way to a season-low 69 in the second round of the Lone Star Conference Championships Monday at the Scissortail Golf Course at WinStar Golf Club.

The freshman from Midlothian birdied four out of five holes on the Back Nine, then reached 5-under with a fifth birdie on the par-4, 346-yard second hole before finishing with a 3-under 69.

Nolen preceded the remarkable effort with a solid 2-over 74 and is tied for ninth heading into the final round of stroke play with a 1-under 143.

Her effort led the Mustangs into a sixth place through 36 holes with a 18-over team total of 594. MSU is just one stroke out of the fourth and final medal match play berth.
