The defending champion — and host — University of Denver women’s golf team remained in second place but moved within four shots of the lead after Saturday’s second round of the Ron Moore Women’s Intercollegiate at Highlands Ranch Golf Club.
With just Sunday’s round remaining, DU stands at 2-under-par 574 overall, while Pepperdine is at 570.
One player from each of the top two teams share the top spot individually. Denver’s Sophie Newlove (69-71) and Pepperdine’s Hira Naveed (70-70) are at 4-under-par 140 going into the final round. DU’s Mariell Bruun is one back, in third place, after second-round 69.
Sunday’s final round begins with a 9 a.m. shotgun start.
