Freshman Sam Hutchison is tied for 51st at 6 over after matching rounds of 76, senior Betty Chen is tied for 64th at 8 over, and freshman Daniel Anastasia is 11 overall and tied for 72nd.

UC Davis is 16 over as a team and tied for 12th with Washington State, carding rounds of 299 and 301 on Monday. Defending national champion Stanford opened a 12-stroke lead to move to 18 under and is leading second-place Northwestern comfortably. Oregon (-2) is third while UNLV (-1) is fourth and the only other team in the 18-team field below par.

Lee had 13 pars in the first round before playing the front nine of her second round a shot over par. However, she turned it on during her back nine, picking up back-to-back birdies on the par-5 14th and par-4 15th to get into red numbers. She closed her day with three pars.

Wong was 3 over after nine holes in her opening round but also enjoyed a strong back nine, stringing birdies on the 14th through 16th holes to even her day. She had three birdies in the afternoon. Hutchison made her Aggie debut with a pair of 3-over rounds, highlighting her day with three birdies in the second round.

Chen carded rounds of 74 and 80. Her day was sparked by a solid back nine which she played 1 under. She was 2 over on the same nine holes in the second round. Anastasi opened with an 80 but covered her last nine holes just a shot over par to finish with a 77.

Stanford's Mariah Stackhouse is 6 under to lead four players, including teammate Shannon Aubert, by one stroke.

UC Davis will tee of Tuesday's final round beginning at 7 a.m. (PDT). The Aggies will play with Gonzaga and Denver.
