Viking Women in 8th At Fresno State Classic

Fresno, CA - Freshman Britney Yada fired a career-low, one-under par 71 in the second round of the Fresno State Lexus Classic and is currently tied for sixth place, four shots back of the lead heading into Tuesday’s final round. UC Davis is in the lead, anchored by Oregon Women's Amateur Champion, Amy Beth Simanton of Lake Oswego.

Yada became just the ninth Viking in history to shoot an under par round in competition. Her 74-71=145 score has her four shots behind Miki Ueoka of Santa Clara (69-72=141).

Meanwhile, Portland State shot its best single-round score of the 2009-10 season with a 12-over par 300 in round two.

The Vikings are in eighth place heading into Wednesday’s final round.
PSU shot 310-300=610 on Monday. The leader is 23rd-ranked UC Davis at 288-294=582. Thirty-seventh-ranked San Jose State is at 585.

The 14-team tournament, hosted by Fresno State, is being played at Copper River Country Club, a 6,043-yard, par-72 course.

Also playing well on Monday was junior Alexia Brown, who carded 79-74=153. The second round score was Brown’s best in four tournaments this season. She is tied for 28th among 74 golfers. Senior Danielle Ranallo is tied for 37th at 80-75=155. Sophomore Tiffany Schoning is tied for 50th with 77-81=158. Junior Kalyn Dodge shot 81-80=160 and is tied for 61st.

TEAM NOTES: The Vikings’ previous-best team score this year was a first-round 301 at the Heather Farr/Colorado Memorial... the Vikings are second among three Big Sky schools competing, one shot behind Sacramento State (609) and well ahead of Eastern Washington (670)... junior Stephanie Johns, last year’s leading scorer for Portland State (77.43), is missing her fourth tournament in five outings this season with a back injury... Yada’s 71 is the best round by a Viking since Johns’ shot a 70 in the 2008 Bulldog and Eagle Invitational... there have now been 27 under par rounds in PSU history. The school scoring record is 68 by Taya Battistella (2003).
