Full Results (BirdieFire)

Head Coach John O'Connor: "We had five scores in the 70s, which is a really nice thing to encounter. We don't see that all the time. And easily these five scores could have been two or three strokes better on everybody's part. They really had to grind out these scores today, and I'm really proud of the way they hung in there and worked hard at it. All in all, it's been a good tournament to be in third place right now, and to be in the final pairing tomorrow with Seton Hall and Albany."

NOTES

Freshman Queenie Lai, who was named the MAAC Women's Golfer of the Week on Wednesday, continued her strong play with a 76 ( 4) to tie for eighth out of 76.
Junior Luciana Tobia-Palza (pictured) shot a 77 to tie for 14th after the opening day, one stroke behind Lai.
Sophomore Alexandra Sazhin and junior Julia Kemmling each shot a 78 to give the Bobcats a 309 team score.
Seton Hall stands in first place 10 shots ahead of Quinnipiac with a 299, while Albany is two shots ahead in second with a 307.
Sazhin had two birdies on her round to give her 43 this season, one behind Tobia-Palza's school record of 44 set two seasons ago.
Freshman Elena Ybarra, competing with the Quinnipiac B team, had a strong round of 78.
