Round 1-2 Results | Final Round Live results 

Las Vegas, NV. – The No.42 Kennesaw State women's golf team sits in second place after 36 holes of the Rebel Beach at the par-72, 6,380-yard Spanish Trail Country Club.

The Owls recorded 2-over par 290 in the opening round and 13-over par 301 in the second round for a 15-over par total 591, one shot behind UNLV, which leads the 12-team field.

"Overall we placed ourselves in a good position heading into the final round being one shot back of the lead," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "Execution-wise, we definitely left some shots out there on the par fives, but I'm proud of the way the team battled particularly in the afternoon when the wind started to really gust up to 30mph. I'm so proud of Clara in her return to the lineup. She's worked hard and deserves to be leading this event after two rounds. This lineup is so rich in talent we fully expect to go out there tomorrow and come away with a win. It's important that we play smart golf and know when to be aggressive and when par is a good score."

Redshirt-sophomore Clara Aveling is tied for the lead in the event after firing a pair of even par scores of 72. Aveling rolled in 16 pars and a birdie in her opening round and five birdies and nine pars in the second round. Her 25 birdies are tied for fifth most in the field.
 
Junior Charlotte Charrayre opened with 15 pars and two birdies in route to a 1-under par 71. In the second round, she was able to make eight pars and two birdies to shoot 6-over par 78. She is tied for eighth at 8-over par 148.
 
Senior Henriette Nielsen and junior Madison Caldwell are tied for 20^th at 7-over par 151. After struggling to a 6-over par 78 in her opening round, Nielsen collected 10 pars and four birdies to shoot 73 in the high winds during the second round. Caldwell rolled in five birdies to fire a 1-over 73 in the opening round.

Junior Roanne Tomlinson is tied for 41st after rounds 74-80 for a 10-over par total of 154.
