"It was a good round today by the ladies," said head coach
Laura Ianello. "We finished at 1-under, not quite as impressive as yesterday, but led by
Ya Chun Chang and
Vivian Hou with 2-under par rounds. Behind them was
Hollie Muse, our junior from England came up huge for us today with 1-under.
Yu-Sang Hou and
Therese Warner really struggled today, putting was definitely a little bit poor. We're two back of UCLA and with two very strong teams behind us, the team has to come out with some energy tomorrow. We're definitely looking for a big day tomorrow to get the win and close out the fall season."
The final round begins Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. MST. The Cats will be paired with UCLA, USC and Arizona State as the four teams vie for the win.
