CARLSBAD, Calif. – The Virginia women’s golf team shot 19-over 307 during the second round of the NCAA Golf Championships in Carlsbad, Calif., finishing the round in 29th place at 32-over 608.

Amanda Sambach once again led UVA in scoring, shooting 3-over 75 on the Omni La Costa Resort’s North Course. After an opening-hole bogey, she made birdies on three of her next four holes to get to 2-under par. A triple bogey on her sixth hole put her at 1-over par which is where she finished her front nine. A pair of bogeys on the back nine contributed to her final score. For 36 holes, Sambach stands in 45th place at 2-over 146.
The Cavaliers’ Celeste Valinho shot 77 and stands in 112th place at 9-over 153. Megan Propeck had a score of 76 and is in 119th place at 154. Rebecca Skoler is 135th at 156 and Jaclyn LaHa is 148th at 159.
