LEWISBURG, PA. - Senior Erin McClure (Tucson, Ariz.) fired a 2-over-par, 72, in Saturday's second round to pace the Seton Hall women's golf team to a second place team standing with 18 holes remaining at the 2014 Bucknell Invitational.
McClure shaved five strokes off her first round score and currently is 9-over-par with a 77-72-149. She trails Rutgers' Emily Mills by three strokes for the individual lead.
Collectively, Seton Hall shot an impressive 301 in round two and currently trails Rutgers by five strokes entering Sunday's play. The Pirates are 46-over-par with a 305-301-606. They have a 13-stroke lead on William & Mary, the third place team.
"I'm pleased with the overall effort although I know that we're capable of taking it up a notch," said head coach Sara Doell. "Cassie's (Pantelas) first round and Erin's second round were particularly impressive. We're still within striking distance. I'm excited to see what tomorrow brings."
McKenzie Cutter (Waldorf, Md.) is also currently in the mix for a top-10 finish. The senior is currently eighth with a 13-over-par, 78-75-153. Only one stroke behind Cutter is junior Karlie Zabrosky (Erie, Pa.). She is tied for ninth at 14-over-par with a 76-78-154.
