“Very proud of the ladies these past two days,” said head coach Garrett Runion. “To come out and break the SEC and LSU single round record is very impressive but I am more impressed with how they backed that up today with the second lowest round in LSU history. Our round today showed how consistent and deep we can be we with four rounds of 69 and our fifth round of 70. It was a fun day and look forward to what we have been doing, focusing on us and trying to improve tomorrow.”

Today was another great round of golf for the Tigers. Junior Alden Wallace shot a 2-under 70 and was one of four players to shoot an eagle on the Par 5 hole No. 3 and one of seven players to shoot an eagle in round two.
