WOMEN'S DIVISON
Leading the way in the Women's Division by a commanding seven-strokes is USC redshirt senior Victoria Morgan. It wasn't a special day for Morgan on a day when the rest of the field struggled her even-par 72 was good enough to place her well in front with still 36-holes left to play.
Morgan was able to overcome a double-bogey and two bogeys with four birdies.
Oregon's Amy Matsuoka is second at 7-over and Fresno State's Yifei Wang is 8-over and third.
