LITCHFIELD PARK, Ariz. – Northern Colorado women's golf remains firmly in contention after day two of the Big Sky Conference Championship, turning in a two-round total of 570 (284-286) to sit in second place on the team leader board.

The Bears were led by a standout performance from Jaci Hartman, who delivered one of the best rounds of the day. After opening with a 73 in round one, Hartman surged up the leader board with a 4-under 67 in round two, bringing her tournament total to 140 (-2) and placing her second individually. Her second-round push highlighted a strong, consistent day for Northern Colorado as they kept pace among the tournament leaders.

Olivia Salonek continued her steady play, carding an even-par 71 for the second straight round to sit at 142 (E), good for a tie for fifth. Samantha Colombine added to the team score with a 74 in round two and sits tied for seventh at 143 (+1), while Timbre Shehee (145, +3) and Carolina Fallotico (148, +6) rounded out the Bears scoring effort through 36 holes.

As a team, Northern Colorado showed balance throughout the lineup, backing Hartman's low round with consistent scoring across the board to maintain their position near the top of the standings.

NEXT TEE: With just one round remaining, the Bears will look to build off Hartman's momentum and make a final push for the conference title.
