PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers women's owns a three-stroke lead after the opening two rounds of the Rutgers Invitational on Saturday in Piscataway. Sophomore Judy Amano is third while redshirt senior Grace Lu, junior Emily James and rookie Elizabeth Ryu are tied for fourth to highlight action for the Scarlet Knights at the Rutgers Golf Course.
RU is three strokes ahead of Penn with a 30-over-par 598 (294-304). The Quakers are second with a 33-over-par 601 (303-298), followed by Dartmouth (+42). Mi Li from Penn leads the 88-player field with a four-over-par 146 (76-70).
"We struggled this afternoon off the tee and found ourselves out of position too often," said head coach Kari Williams. "We'll be in a great spot tomorrow if we can clean that up and play like we have been at our recent events. I'm confident in how we prepared and know we can attack the course tomorrow."
Sunday's final round begins with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.
