TicketsVIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Sophomore Amalia Shahzan (Kedah, Malaysia) carded University of Cincinnati women's golf's best round of the day with a three-over-par 73 during the second round at the Old Dominion Princess Anne Invitational at Princess Anne Country Club. UC's scoring team finished the day with a score of 300 to place 12th.
After shooting a 300 on Friday during the tournament's opening round, the Bearcats stayed consistent on Saturday with another 300. With senior Anika Hitt (Mequon, Wis./Homestead) and junior Daniela Murcia (Bogotá, Colombia) both carding rounds of 73 yesterday, Shahzan took over today with a score of 73. Following shooting a 77 in the first round, the sophomore bounced back with a three-over-par round featuring two birdies and 10 pars to move up from a tie for 52nd to a tie for 43rd.
Sophomore Angela Lopez (Bogotá, Colombia), too, improved on Saturday after shooting a 78 on Friday with a 75 today including a birdie on hole No. 2 and par saved on 11 holes. Murcia held relatively consistent in the second round with a 74 consisting of a pair of birdies and 10 pars. As such, she still leads the way for UC in a tie for 29th place after tying for 26th a day ago.
The third and final round of the tournament will begin Sunday morning with tee times beginning at 8 a.m. ET. The Bearcats will be paired with Princeton and Delaware and will start off on the 10th tee at 9:24. Follow along with live scoring here.
// COACH CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"We had opportunities and fought hard, but the last hole simply killed our chances today," said head coach Janet Carl. "We didn't execute for all 18 holes. The team still has a chance to come out and climb the leaderboard tomorrow, but it will require playing with confidence. It's another opportunity for the team to learn that they belong here."
