MIAMI, Fla. — The University of Memphis posted a team score of 300 (+12) on day two at the Weston Hills Country Club to climb into a share of second at the Sir Pizza Cards Challenge.

“I’m so proud of the girls for staying focused,” University of Memphis head coach Beth Harrelson said. “They battled through, tough windy conditions to post a really solid score.”
