“What a fantastic day to see it all come together for the team. It takes a different type of patience and confidence to stay under and around par all day. I’m just so proud of them all,” UW head women’s golf coach Josey Stender said. “Sam really buckled down and finished strong in round two, a testament to her process and leadership.”

Jadan Gonzalez led the standout day for Wyoming posting back-to-back under par rounds finishing the day with a score of 141 (-3) and currently sits in a tie for eighth. Samantha Hui posted the best round of her career in the second round of play shooting a 68 (-4) tying the school record set by Gabrielle Gibson in 2019.

Thanks to her record-tying round, Hui finished the day tied for 11^th. Kyla Wilde also finished the day inside the top 25 tying for 17^th after two rounds with a score of 144 (E). Morgan Ryan and Jessica Zapf round out the Cowgirl lineup finishing the day tied for 26^th and 46^th.

As a team, the Cowgirls had a day to remember posting back to back school record round scores shooting 289 and 285 which are both lower than the previous school record of 290 that was set in 2019 at the Hobble Creek Fall Classic.

With their record setting day, the Cowgirls currently sit in fifth with a total score of 574 (--2) sitting four strokes ahead of sixth place Boise State and trailing fourth place GCU by just two strokes. Nevada currently leads the team race with a score of 558 (-18).
