// SCORING TEAM
After holing six birdies on Friday, Liebert (Mason, Ohio/Mason) followed on Saturday with five including ones on holes four, five, 12, 15, and 17. She also only failed to meet at least par on two holes, both of which were on the front nine. Sophomore Anika Hitt (Mequon, Wis.) showed the Bearcats' biggest improvement from the first round to the second with a four-over-par 75 after shooting an 81 yesterday to move from a tie for 76th to a tie for 69th overall. Senior Ashley Cassidy (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks East) and Valentina Herrera (Bogotá, Colombia) both shot better rounds on Saturday with Cassidy carding a 74 (+3) after a 79 in the opening round and Herrera posting a 79 after turning in an 81 on Friday.
