ALBUQUERQUE, NM (May 9, 2017) - The top-seed Stanford Cardinals combined for a 5-under day and they are now 3-under and leading the Albuquerque Regional by four shots.
Playing at the UNM South Championship Course Stanford was paced on Tuesday by medalist leader Albane Valenzuela's 3-under 69. Valenzuela, 4-under overall, and the leader by one birdied three of her first four holes as she played the front nine in a flawless 3-under 33. The 2016 Olympian then held steady on the back nine with one birdie and a bogey.
Three other members of the Cardinal lineup are currently residing in the top-15 and helping to power Stanford into the lead; Shannon Aubert (T7; -1), Andrea Lee (T13; +1) and Casey Danielson (T13; +1).
Charging hard on the heels of Valenzuela in the individual race are Julianne Alvarez (Washington) and Martina Edberg (CSU Fullerton) in second place at 3-under while Tatiana Wijaya (Pepperdine), first round leader Laura Kowohl (NC State) and Bianca Pagdanganan (Gonzaga) are tied for fourth at 2-under.
