USC dominated the opening two rounds as the Trojans (577) carry a 25-stroke lead over second-place Hawai'i (602) into Tuesday's final round. UCLA (604), Fresno State (610) and Pepperdine (616) round out the top-five in the 12-team field.
Julia Myklebust is the low Matador player through two rounds as she sits tied for 34th at (+13) 157. Myklebust had two of the Matadors' three rounds in the 70's on Monday after finishing at 79-78. Kiran Sangha matched Myklebust's second round 78 with a 78 in Monday's first round.
CSUNÂ SCORES
COACH MICHELLE WINKLER SAID
"The weather conditions were perfect for scoring; however, the course conditions were some of the hardest I've seen. You needed to be so precise with your approach shots by staying below the hole. Our short game could have been better, including our speed control with our longer putts. After a productive group conversation after rounds one & two, we're sticking to our game plan and aiming for the front third of each green."
The Matadors will be paired with Wyoming and Northern Illinois for the third and final round which gets underway with a shotgun start at 7 a.m.
