Panthers Sit Second After Nearly Two Rounds At NCAA Championship

Tir led the entire field on day one of action.
The Middlebury women's golf team dominated the opening day of the NCAA Championship, leading the entire field with a 296. The day consisted of torrential rain, delays and standing water, conditions the Panthers have battled throughout this spring. On Wednesday, the field nearly completed the second round, with Middlebury getting through holes 12-15 as Emory finished the course to surge ahead.
 
The Eagles shot a one-under-par on the second day and sit atop the leaderboard with a score of 586, carding a 287 on the day. The Panthers, who pick up on holes 12-15 on Thursday morning, currently have a 222.
