\nK-State posted a round of even-par 288, which was the second-best round of the tournament among the 14-team field. The Wildcats are tied with San Diego State entering the final round at 10-over par 586, one shot back of second-place Eastern Michigan.

\n“Today was a solid round and could have been special except for some poor par-3 scoring,” head coach Stew Burke<\/a> said. “The ladies really grinded and bounced back after mistakes. We had five players in it right up until the end, which gave us the best chance of putting together a solid team score. Hopefully that will be the catalyst for a great run tomorrow, and we’ll see how much ground we can make up on the leader.”

\nK-State was paced for a second-straight day by sophomore Keen Visavapattamawan<\/a>, who tallied a round of 2-under par 70 to post her fourth under-par round of the season. The Bangkok, Thailand, native produced three birdies on the day as she rose four spots into a tie for third place at 2-under par 142. She is one of only five golfers in the 80-player field to record even- or under-par scores in each of the first two rounds.

\nThe Wildcats’ biggest riser on Tuesday was junior Kelsey Chen<\/a>, who tallied a second-round total of even-par 72 to move 12 spots into a tie for 31st place at 6-over par 150. The Dalian, China, native had an up-and-down round as she was 3-under par through eight holes before a double-bogey and a bogey made her 2-over par with two holes to play. But, like she did to begin her round, Chen recorded two-straight birdies at the end of her round to put her back at even.

\nJunior Nanami Nakashima<\/a> and freshman Amy Wang<\/a> matched scores for a second-straight day as each went 1-over par 73 on Tuesday. The duo moved up four spots into a tie for 12th place at 3-over par 147.

\nFreshman Mia Ingham<\/a> also moved up the leaderboard after a round of 2-over par 74, a five-stroke improvement from the opening round. The Surrey, England, native enters Wednesday’s final round tied for 47th place at 9-over par 153.
