MARICOPA, Ariz. – Montana State improved seven strokes from its first round to its second and sits in 18th place as a team following the first two rounds of the Cowgirl Classic Monday, April 2, at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club.

Hooper shot consecutive rounds of 1-over-par 73 to finish the day with a 146. She is tied for 16th individually. Tait shot MSU's best round of the day with her second-round even par. Her 148 over two rounds put her in a tie for 29th.
"Kelly and Jaylee played very well," Montana State head coach Brittany Basye said. "We got it going as a team in the second round. We hope to see some putts fall tomorrow."
The Bobcats shot a first-round 310 and second-round 303 for a total of 613 strokes at the Wyoming-hosted tournament. Sacramento State leads the team standings with a 566 (297-287), while New Mexico State (580) and Santa Clara (583) follow the Hornets.
Rounding out MSU's lineup are Delaney Elliott, Clare Dittemore and Lilly Navarre. Elliott and Dittemore each carded a 161 over two rounds with each shooting an 80 as their best round. Navarre fired a 78 during the second round and finished a stroke behind her Bobcat teammates at 162.
New Mexico State's Pun Chanachai leads all individuals at 4-under-par 140 (75-65). She is followed by Santa Clara's Kristin Le (141) and three different Sacramento State golfers. Coral Schulz, competing as an individual for MSU, shot a 165 following the first day of action.
