The Cardinal's Angelina Ye holds a one-shot lead after shooting a 4-under 67 on Friday, leading a group of six players tied for second at 3-under.
Kim and Wood are tied for 65th, with the former sinking a pair of birdies and firing a solid 1-over on the back nine, while the latter found success on the front half, firing a 1-over 36 to start off her day.
