HENDERSON, Nevada – Montana State women's golf bounced back in a big way and delivered some eye-popping individual results on the second day of The Clash at Boulder Creek, held Monday at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Henderson, Nevada.
The Bobcats turned in a score of 289, tied for the sixth-lowest round in program history, with three MSU golfers finishing below par.

"Proud of the comeback today by the team score," head coach Brittany Basye said. "Hannah [Boraas], Maddie [Montoya], and [Lauren] Greeny shooting low was sweet, and Hannah's bogey-free round is really good."
Lauren Greeny, a sophomore from Pullman, Wash., shot a 5-under-par 67 to tie her own school record for low round, the third time in her career and the second time this fall that she has matched that mark. Over a five-hole stretch from the 15th to the 1st hole, she birdied four times, adding on to birdies at the 4th and 10th holes.
Hannah Boraas, a freshman from Alexandria, Minn., shot a career-best 4-under-par 68 in a remarkable bogey-free round, with four birdies alongside 14 pars. The 68 is tied for the sixth-best round in program history, and marked the ninth time this season a Bobcat has turned in a below-70 round.
Maddie Montoya, a sophomore from Boise, Idaho, shot a 71, the third MSU golfer to finish under par on the day.
Montana State enters Tuesday's final round at Boulder Creek Golf Club in 13th place with a two-day score of 594 (305-289).
Long Beach State leads the field after a remarkable 17-under-par 271 team score on Monday, and sits at -22 for the tournament, 18 strokes ahead of second-place San Francisco.
"Tomorrow we need to finish on a good note for the fall with everyone around par," Basye said. "This course sets up nice—we need to finish strong."
Tuesday will be the final round of the fall slate for the Bobcats before they pick back up for the spring season in February.
The last 18 holes get underway at 8 a.m. PT/9 a.m. MT. Live scoring is available on BirdieFire.
