Grace Curran's even-par 72 led the way for Minnesota

FAYETTEVILLE, AR. - The University of Minnesota showed improvement across the board as they finished round two of the Blessings Collegiate Invitational. The team moved up one spot and is currently in ninth with a two-round score of 312-298=610 (+34). Minnesota's round was highlighted by Grace Curran's even-par 72.

Arkansas (-11) holds a 14-stroke lead over Mississippi State heading into tomorrow's final round.

Quotable:
"This team made a move today and I am really impressed with their response when things were not going well on the course. We continued to struggle early today but something switched and the momentum swung our way" said head coach Rhyll Brinsmead. "We played our second nine holes 4-under-par and moved ahead of Kentucky. Grace's bounce back after a really tough day was amazing to watch. Excited to get back out there tomorrow."
