After carding an 81 in the first round, the senior captain took six strokes off her score to card a 75 on day two. Maunu’s steady second round included a birdie on the 14th to go along with 13 pars. At plus-12 (156) for the tournament, Maunu is tied with teammate So-Hyun Park (Seoul, South Korea) in 64th.

The top eight teams and the top-two golfers from non-advancing teams at the Central Regional will advance to the NCAA Finals, taking place on May 19-22 at the Caves Valley Golf Course in Owings Mills, Md.
After two rounds of play, UCLA leads the 21-team field with a minus-two (574) score. Bruin teammates Stephanie Kono and Maria Jose Uribe are tied for first-place on the individual leaderboard with minus-five scores (139). The Irish are currently 13 strokes behind UT Chattanooga, who is in eighth and occupies the last qualifying spot. Huffer enters the final day of play in contention for an individual qualifying spot for the NCAA Championships because the current top-15 golfers all hail from teams within the top-eight.
The Irish, making their second consecutive NCAA Central Regional appearance and fourth overall, will look to extend their season when the third round gets underway tomorrow, May 9.
