BYU tied for fourth after two rounds at Coeur d'Alene

COUER D’ALENE, Idaho — The BYU women’s golf team carded the lowest second-round score Monday to finish day one of the Coeur d’Alene Collegiate tied for fourth.

After shooting a combined 299 (+15) in the first round, the Cougars improved their second-round score by 13 strokes, posting a 286 (+2). Naomi Soifua and Kerstin Fotu led the second-round surge for BYU, both improving their totals by seven strokes from rounds one to two. Soifua fired a team-low 69 (-2) in the second round after posting a 76 (+5) in the first to finish the day tied for 12th while Fotu shot a 71 (E) after a 78 (+7) in round one.

Allysha Mae Mateo finished day one with a team-low 144 (+2), shooting a 70 (-1) in the first round and 74 (+3) in the second. She currently sits tied for 7th place. Annick Haczkiewicz finished the day tied for 21st after shooting a combined 147 (+5), followed by Fotu and Anna Kennedy, who are currently tied for 33rd and 78th places, respectively.
