Golf: Women's
Women's golf performing well at Cougar Classic
Although the Penn State women's golf team slipped two spots to 13th out of 24, it is still performing well at the Cougar Classic, a tournament filled with national powerhouses.
Overall, the Nittany Lions' total score of 296 (+8) from Monday's second round was three strokes off of its opening round total.

However, the team did pass Wisconsin after the Badgers' second round total was thirteen strokes worse than its opening-round total.
Junior Christina Vosters matched matched her first round score with another 71 (-2). The performance was strong enough to move ahead one more spot to a tie for 12th on the individual leaderboard. Ellen Ceresko, who also shot a 71 on Sunday, notched a 73 during her second round. The junior is now tied for 22nd place. Meanwhile, sophomore Elyse Archambault improved by one stroke, shooting a 74 on Monday, good enough for a share of 59th place. Senior Emily Ransone's 78 gave her an overall score of 154, rounding out the Lions' scoring in 93rd place.
Florida moved ahead of USC Monday for first place on the team leaderboard. After beginning the day tied in second place and one stroke off of USC's lead, the Gators shot a 279 (-9) on Monday and now lead the competition with an overall score of 565. USC remains close in second place at 568.
Florida's Isabelle Lendl gave up her individual lead to teammate Camilla Hedberg, who will enter Tuesday's final round with a 135 (-9). Lendl is now in second place, two strokes off of Hedberg.
