The Wildcats have five players in the top 14 entering the final round, including three in the scoring lineup.
Junior Carla Bernat leads the field at 5-under par 139 thanks in part to a first-round score of 4-under par 68, which tied for the eighth-lowest score in the 25-year history of the tournament. The Castellon, Spain, native recorded 13 birdies on the day, including seven in the first round.
Bernat holds a two-shot lead over three players in a tie for second place at 3-under par 141, which includes Wildcat junior Remington Isaac.
