Three Players in Top-15 As Spartans Are Third at NCAA Athens Regional

ATHENS, Ga.—On moving day, the Spartans made the move up the leaderboard, led by Mountain West Player of the Year Kajsa Arwefjäll who shot a 2-under 70, as the No. 9 San José State women's golf team is solidly in third place after two rounds of the NCAA Athens Regional played at the University of Georgia Golf Course.
 

  • Three Spartans finished the day in the top-15 of the individual standings. Antonia Malate is tied for 10th at even-par 144 after shooting her second consecutive 72 of the regional.
  • She made three birdies and 13 pars over the round, making pars on seven of her eight holes and a birdie.
  • Arwefjäll jumped 18 places and is now tied for 12th at 1-over 145. She made three birdies, 14 pars and one bogey during her round. Arwefjäll shot 2-under on the back nine.

  • Lucia Lopez Ortega moved up 15 places after shooting a 1-under 71 and is tied for 15th at 2-over 146.
  • She had almost the same card as Arwefjäll, only switched. She shot 2-under on the front nine with birdies on holes 3 and 7, and had eight pars and a bogey on the back nine.
