CLE ELUM, Wash. —- The Washington women's golf team is in second place at 2-over par after shooting a 5-over 293 on Tuesday at Tumble Creek Club. The top six teams following Wednesday's final 18 holes will advance to the NCAA Championships, May 17-22 at The Blessings Golf Course in Fayetteville, Ark.
"It's a survive and advance mentality," said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. "It was really hard out there. We struggled early, but they hung in there and battled. We really played the backside fairly well. I'm proud of them, they didn't give up, they kept fighting. Nobody tried to do something they shouldn't have. They stayed the course and that's what you have to do. We're excited to get after it tomorrow."
