PHOENIX, Ariz. – The New Mexico women’s golf team continued play Saturday with the second round of the PING/ASU Invitational, hosted by Arizona State at the Papago Golf Course. The Lobos shot 11-over during Saturday’s round to sit in 11th place in an event that features an elite field of 12 top-50 teams.

The tournament host, the eighth-ranked Sun Devils, continue to lead at 21-under. Second-ranked Oregon and No. 19 Baylor are tied for second at 4-under, just ahead of top-ranked Stanford, in fourth at 2-under.

Jenny Lertsadwattana is T-4th on the individual leaderboard at 4-under after a second-round 73. Myah McDonald and Lauren Lehigh each posted a second-round 75, while Caroline Jansson shot 76 and Chloe Lauer shot 77 to round out the Lobo lineup.
