STATE COLLEGE. Pa. - The Bucknell women's golf squad completed the second round of the Nittany Lion Invitational Saturday, posting a 314 score, matching the program record set last spring at the Big South Championships. The two-day total puts the Bison in sixth place with a score of 648, just 27 strokes from the leader, Penn State.
Led by a terrific 3-over-par 75 from junior Amy Loughney (Macungie, Pa./Allentown Central Catholic), the Bison climbed from ninth place all the way to sixth after posting the fourth-best second-round total in the 14-team field.

Senior Teri Schlang (Irvine, Calif./University) and sophomore Deirdre Moran (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame) both shot 80, while Emily Chiodo (Straburg, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) notched an 81.
The overall leader after round two is Evelyn Paik of Penn State, who shot a 3-over 75 on the day.
