TUESDAY
Substituted into the lineup Tuesday morning, sophomore
Ava Ray made the most of her opportunity. The Franklin, Ind., native fired a team-low 72 to help the Hounds stay close to team-leader Findlay, who will enter the final round with just a three-stroke edge over UIndy. The Greyhounds, meanwhile, are 15 strokes ahead of third-place Ashland, and 27 strokes clear of fifth—the final advancing spot.
Junior
Anci Dy forced her way into the top five, as her two-day score of +7 is good for a share of fourth place. She racked up 15 pars in round two to help her vault seven spots up the leaderboard.
Three more Hounds will enter the final round in the top 20. Freshman
