LIVE SCORING
SAN JACINTO, Calif. - Junior Gracie Piar fired an even-par 72 to move into second place while the CSUN women's golf team remained second through two rounds of the UCR Soboba Classic Saturday at Soboba Springs Resort.
After firing a team round of 3-over 291 on Friday, the Matadors finished round two at 16-over 304 to remain second in the seven-team field at 595. Cal State Fullerton (595) carded a team round of 293 on Saturday to move into a tie with CSUN behind UC Irvine (578). UC Riverside (595) is fourth, and British Columbia (605) rounds out the top five.Â
Piar, who began the day in a tie for eighth, fired four birdies and 11 pars in round two. After the second of her two birdies on the front nine, Piar moved to 2-under on the day. A double bogey at No. 11 dropped her back to even-par where she would finish the day. Piar will open the final round in a tie for second, just four shots behind UCI's Katelyn Kong.

HEAD COACH MICHELLE WINKLER SAID
"Today, we really struggled with our approach shots. They definitely weren't as accurate as yesterday, but we put in some focused practice after play today. Golf is a funny game and never produces linear success. Everyone is excited to come back tomorrow with force! Gracie is a fierce competitor and is ready to continue her domination. I'm so happy for her and will be her biggest cheerleader tomorrow."
The Matadors will be paired with Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside again for the final round two, which gets underway Sunday morning at 8:40 a.m.
