Women's Golf Maintains Lead After Day Two

10/7/2006

Trio of Commodores Move within Three Shots of Lead

Vanderbilt posted a season-best 6-over par 294 Saturday and remains in first place at the Lady Tar Heel Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C.

The 18th-ranked Commodores (301+294=595) head into final round action Sunday at the UNC Finley Golf Course (Par 72, 6,285 yards) with a three shot lead over No. 2 Duke (303+295=598), who moved up the leader board with a 7-over par 295.

Host North Carolina (304+296=600) is five shots behind Vanderbilt in third while Virginia (303+301=604) is nine shots behind in fourth place.

Sophomore Jacqui Concolino (76+70=146) leads a trio of Commodores who have pulled within three shots of the individual leader, Jennie Lee of Duke (72+72=144).

Concolino carded the second-best individual round of the day with a 2-under par 70 to move into fourth place. The Orlando, Fla. native posted five birdies and shot even-par on 10 holes.

Seniors Chris Brady and Kristen Svicarovich are tied for fifth place with two other players at 147.

Brady (74+73=147) shot a 1-over par 73 while Svicarovich carded a 1-under par 71. Svicarovich was 4-under par after the 13th hole but a bogie on No. 14 and a bogie on No. 15 slowed her climb.

Other Commodores competing in the tournament include junior Liebelei Lawrence, tied for 34th place at 155 and freshman Brooke Goodwin tied for 81st place at 167.

Final round play begins Sunday at 8 a.m. CT. Live scoring for the tournament is available at www.golfstat.com.
