  A great day on the course saw the University of Evansville women’s golf team shoot a 303 to lead the field by five strokes at the halfway point of the Braun Intercollegiate at Oak Meadow Country Club.

The Purple Aces shot a 303 as a team and lead Butler by five strokes with Valparaiso sitting in third with a 312.  Play continues on Tuesday with the final round at Oak Meadow.  Admission is free and all are welcome as the Aces and the field take to the course at 10 a.m.

Kayla Katterhenry leads the individuals.  A 2-under 70 has her on the top of the leaderboard with a 3-shot lead over Rachel Gathof (Butler) and Ryleigh Waltz (Northern Kentucky).  She is the defending champion of the event and will look to take the crown again on Tuesday.

Second for the Aces was Maria Pickens.  Sitting in sixth place, Pickens fired off a 75 on Monday.  Madison Chaney is also in the top ten for UE.  Chaney carded a 5-over 77 and is tied for 8th place.
