The Rundown
Jessica Mason (Westminster, Colo. / Holy Family) led Trinity for the second consecutive day, carding a one-over-par 73 (+1) to sit second overall at +3. Mason has been the standout performer of the tournament, and her six birdies across two rounds rank tied second in the entire field, the highest total among all Trinity players.
Lauren Huddleston (Anthem, Ariz. / Boulder Creek) posted a two-over-par 74 (+2) to sit T4 overall at +5, going 38 on the front nine to give herself a strong platform for the back nine, where she shot a 36.

Sabrina Nader (Houston, Texas / The Kinkaid School) carded a six-over-par 78 (+6) to sit T18 overall at +15. Nader produced an even back nine of 39 to match her front nine, showing the kind of composure that has kept Trinity well clear of the field behind them.
Natalie Lewis (El Paso, Texas / Coronado) also carded a six-over-par 78 (+6) to sit T20 overall at +16, shooting 38 on the front nine holes and a back nine of 40. Lewis stepped up when Trinity needed contributions across the card and her score counted toward the team total on the day.
