Jean Chua led the Deacs with a two-over 74, almost four shots under her season average of 77.7. The junior is currently tied for 11th place and led the team in birdies on the day with three.
Freshman Allie Bodemann is tied for 23rd after posting a three-over 75. Bodemann was one over par but double-bogeyed hole nine, her last hole of the afternoon.
Nannette Hill recorded a five-over 77 to finish Friday's round tied for 39th. Hill was the top-finisher for the Deacs one year ago as the junior tied for 18th in the 2007 Bryan Park tournament.
