The spectacular round saw Madison Smith and Kiley Rodrigues post career-low scores of 69 and 70, respectively, while Grayson Gladden also carded a 2-under 70 to finish a stroke off the lead at 3-under for the day. Rodrigues and Smith recorded career-best scores in both rounds on Monday. Smith’s round also ranks inside the top five for best single-round scores by a Red Wolf.
Gladden entered the second round fourth overall, but climbed two spots after her 2-under 70 during the afternoon.
A-State is 12 strokes ahead of second-place Southern Illinois and Rosemarie Bundy, who led after the opening round.
