As a team, the Matadors followed up an opening round 9-over 297 on Sunday with an 11-over 299 in the second round on Monday. At 20-over 596, CSUN remained sixth ih in the nine-team championship field.
After carding a 1-under 71 in round one, Turgut had three birdies in the second round to finish at 1-over 73. All three birdies came on her opening four holes as she moved to 3-under. A bogey at No. 5 dropped her to 2-under, where she would finish the front nine. Six pars and three bogeys on the back nine closed out a round of 73, which left the senior tied for fourth at even-par 144.
Cal Poly posted a second round 293 to move past day one leader UC Davis. The Mustangs (580) lead the Aggies (583) by three shots heading into the final round. Individually, Long Beach State's Madison Le continues to lead despite shooting a 2-over 74 on Monday. Le carries a five-shot lead over Cal Poly's Sarah Yoo into the final round.

ACTING HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"It was a little windier today, and the course definitely played tougher. But overall, the ball-striking wasn't as good as it was yesterday. This is a good team, and Michelle (Winkler) has them well-prepared, but the execution wasn't there today. We'll regroup and look for a good final round tomorrow."

The Matadors will be paired with Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine for Tuesday's final round, which gets underway with tee times starting at 11 a.m., with McGowan the first Matador going off the No. 1 tee.
