LEWISBURG, PA. - Freshman Megan Tenhundfeld (Loveland, Ohio), playing in her first collegiate tournament, led a ferocious second round comeback for the Seton Hall women's golf team which now finds itself tied for second place at the season-opening Bucknell Invitational with 18 final holes remaining.

Tenhundfeld fired a 1-over-par, 71, in Saturday's second round to help the Pirates climb from a ninth place tie following round one, to a second place tie following round two, just two strokes behind Radford for the tournament lead.  Seton Hall shot a 42-over-par, 322, in round one, but bounced back with an impressive 298 later in the day.  The Pirates are tied with Rutgers for second place.  The Scarlet Knights shot a pair of 310's on the day while Seton Hall made its late charge.

"I am absolutely thrilled with how we played in the second round," said Head Coach Sara Doell.  "This being the first tournament of the year and having two freshmen in the lineup, I think they might have been a little nervous at the start... but they relaxed and carried themselves with great confidence later in the day.  I'm really excited with what tomorrow might hold."

Tenhundfeld is currently tied for the individual lead among 80 individual golfers.  She is 6-over-par with a 75-71-146, tied with Boston University's Kristyna Pavlickova.

Not to be outdone by her teammate, sophomore Ali Kruse (Overland Park, Kan.) also had a very strong second round for the Pirates.  After a first round 80, Kruse rebounded with a sparkling 3-over-par, 73, in round two.  Currently, she is tied for ninth among all golfers with a 13-over-par, 80-73-153.

Every Seton Hall golfer had a significantly stronger second round than their first round despite adverse weather conditions later in the day.  In fact, play was delayed for two hours early in the second round due to a strong storm that blew through eastern Pennsylvania, but the teams were able to complete 36 holes before darkness fell.

Junior Hannah Basalone (Brea, Calif.) improved seven strokes in her second round and is currently tied for 20^th place overall following a 19-over-par, 83-76-159.

Sophomore Erin McClure (Tucson, Ariz.) is currently tied for 39^th place among all individual golfers following her 23-over-par, 84-79-163.

Freshman Karlie Zabrosky (Erie, Pa) had her second round 78 count towards the team score and is currently tied for 44^th place, one stroke behind McClure with an 86-78-164.

Another Pirate, competing as an independent, is only five strokes behind Tenhundfeld for the individual lead.  Junior Christina Cantũ (Houston, Texas) unleashed an 11-over-par, 75-76-151, and is currently tied for third place overall.

Sophomore McKenzie Cutter (Waldorf, Md.), slowed by injury, also competed as an independent and is tied for 24^th place following her 76-84-160.

Seton Hall has 18 final holes tomorrow and will attempt to win its second team championship in program history.  Megan Tenhundfeld will be chasing the program's second individual title.  Check www.SHUpirates.com for complete coverage following tomorrow's final round.
