KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Alabama women's golf team trimmed two strokes off their opening round performance shooting a second round 312 on Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Women's Collegiate Championship.
Junior Carina Sorensen posted the low round of the day for the Tide carding a 74. Junior Audrey Gale posted another solid round for Bama finishing with a round of 75 to remain among the Top 10 individuals. Gale is tied for ninth with a two-day score of 147.
