Johns Creek, Ga. - The Kennesaw State women's golf team sits in a tie for first place after the second round of the Ladies Fall Intercollegiate Invitational on Saturday (Oct. 28) at the par-72, 6,210-yard Highlands Golf Course at the Atlanta Athletic Club.
The Owls recorded the team-low round of the day with an even-par round of 288 to grab a tie for first with Louisville at 20-over par 596 through two rounds. KSU leads the field with 28 birdies through the first two rounds. The Owls are ahead of three teams ranked in the top 41 in the Golfstat rankings.
"This team can outright play," head coach
Rhyll Brinsmead said. "To be leading this event after round two plus shooting the lowest overall team and individual score on the day shows we can and will compete with anyone. We came into the round today knowing the course and weather conditions would be challenging and tackled the task with focus and grit. After a 4-over par team front nine, we played the back nine 4-under par. What I love about this team is the contagious energy from all players. We make one birdie and it leads to more and more. We've got another chance to walk away with a title and I know the team is hungry for it. It'll be fun tomorrow to go out and try and finish the fall season with a win."

Henriette Nielsen who fired a 3-under par 33 over her last nine holes to shoot 3-under par 69 in the second round. She made four of seven birdies in her round over the final final five holes.
