Marta Aguilar shares the individual lead with 18 holes remaining.
OKATIE, S.C. – Sophomore Marta Aguilar (Casares Malaga, Spain) fired a 3-under-par, 69, in a BIG EAST Championship second round that saw the Seton Hall women's golf team improve by 19 strokes from yesterday. Aguilar shares the individual lead entering Monday's final round.
Despite nagging injuries, sweltering heat and a brief downpour, Aguilar wouldn't be denied on Sunday. The three-time BIG EAST Golfer of the Week tallied six birdies and nine pars for her ninth career sub-par round. Entering round three, Aguilar is 2-under-par with a 73-69-142 and is tied for the individual lead with Xavier's Madison Reemsnyder and St. John's Kelly Wu. Seton Hall has never had a women's golfer win the individual title.
As a team, Seton Hall saw a dramatic improvement on Sunday. The Pirates shaved off 19 strokes from their round on Saturday to finish with a 10-over-par, 298, its second-best single-round of the year. In round one, The Hall got off to a rough start, shooting a collective 13-over-par on the front nine alone. Today, the Pirates were just 2-over-par on the first nine holes.
Unfortunately for Seton Hall, all six of its opponents also saw significant improvement in round two. The Pirates remain in fifth place at 39-over-par with a 317-298-615. Butler leads The Hall by 11 strokes in fourth place. Xavier, seeking its seventh-straight BIG EAST title, again leads the field at just 10-over-par. The Musketeers have a four-stroke lead on second-place Georgetown.
Junior Renee Rane (New Delhi, India) only had one birdie, but she tallied 13 pars to fuel a 3-over-par, 75, a five-stroke improvement from round one. She was even-par on the back nine today. For the tournament, she's tied for 20th place with an 11-over-par, 80-75-155.
Freshman Isabella Stewart (Wicklow, Ireland) took the course by storm this morning, birdying three of the first four holes. She had an unconventional finish to her round, going birdie, double-bogey, birdie, bogey in her last four holes. In the end, she shaved off four strokes from yesterday's score with a 4-over-par, 76. For the tournament, she's one stroke behind Rane with a 12-over-par, 80-76-156.
Anne-Sofie Ekman (Copenhagen, Denmark) provided the Pirates with a fourth sub-80 round for the team score on Sunday. The senior closed out the penultimate round of her career with birdies on holes No. 17 and No. 18 to finish with a solid 6-over-par, 78. For the event, she's 18-over-par with an 84-78-162.
Junior Kasumi Tran (Swansea, Wales) shaved off three strokes from her first round score yesterday to finish with an 11-over-par, 83, on Sunday. Entering Monday's final round, she's 25-over-par with an 86-83-169.
Lara Todorovic (Belgrade, Serbia) has been consistent in her final collegiate tournament, carding her second-consecutive 12-over-par, 84, on Sunday. After 36 holes, she is 24-over-par with an 84-84-168.
