PALOS VERDES, Calif. — The University of Colorado women's golf team had another tough day at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge, shooting a 25-over 309 on Monday.

Currently the Buffs are 16th with a 48-over 616 (307-309). CU is one-stroke back from Pac-12 foe Arizona State (315-299—615).

Stanford and UCLA swapped positions on the second day of the tournament at the par 71, 6,017-yard Palos Verdes Golf Club. The Cardinal moved up to first after recording a 5-under 279 to put it at 574 (295-279) through the first two rounds. The Bruins dropped to second while shooting a 5-over 289, which put them six strokes behind the Cardinal (291-289—580).

"It was a tough day," head coach Anne Kelly said. "Our team just needs some time and practice to get going. This is a very early season event for us and the reality is we are not quite ready. But on the positive side, the team is getting good experience against a great field and on the course that will host the Pac-12 in April."

Junior Kirsty Hodgkins continued to lead the Buffs through the raining and tough course conditions, shooting a 5-over 76 on the second day. Her 9-over 151 (75-76) has her tied for 33rd with one round left. She got out to a good start, making par on the first and third holes, as well as a birdie on the second. She bogeyed on the next hole, which put her even. She made par on the next two holes to stay even, but hit a tough patch with four consecutive bogeys to put her at 4-over through 10 holes. She finished her round with additional pars, two bogeys and one birdie.

Freshman Malak Boureada is now second for the Buffs after shooting her second 6-over 77 round of the tournament. She is currently tied for 56^th with a 12-over 154. She did quite well through her first seven holes, going 1-under with five pars, one birdie and one bogey. Hole No. 1 gave her a little trouble as she recorded her only double on the round, putting her 2-over. She was able to collect herself on the following hole, recording another par, but finished the remaining nine holes with four bogeys and five pars.

Senior Haley Nist is just one stroke from teammate Boureada, shooting a 5-over 76 in the second round. Through two rounds, she has recorded a 13-over 155 and is tied for 61st. She had a solid start to her day on the 12^th hole, making par on four straight holes. She tallied a bogey and a double on the following two holes, which put her at 3-over. As she started the front nine, she recorded four bogeys and a par (6-over). On No. 6, she recorded her first birdie of the round, bringing her back to 6-over. She made par on the final three holes on the front and finished her round with one more birdie and two pars.

CU's other senior, Gillian Vance, also had a nice start to her round. Through the first eight holes, she made four pars, three bogeys and one birdie to sit at 2-over. She went up to 3-over after recording a bogey on No. 1, but made par on the subsequent hole to hole at 3-over. Unfortunately, she had a bit of trouble over the next three holes with a pair of double and one bogey. Sitting at 8-over through 13 holes, she was able to regain her composure and finish well, making four pars and a bogey. She is tied for 64^th with a 14-over 156.

Sophomore Elle Otten shot a 10-over 81 and is tied for 81^st with a 19-over 161. In her second round, she recorded eight bogeys, six pars, two doubles and a pair of birdies.

Andrea Lee (Stanford) moved up from second to first in the second round, shooting another 1-under 70 to match her round from the first day. She has a three-stroke lead over the rest of the field with her 140 scorecard. Four others are currently tied for second with 1-over 143s.

The Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge will conclude on Tuesday, Feb. 5.
