State was led through the second round of play from Papago Golf Club behind the play of standout sophomore Julia Lopez Ramirez and senior Hannah Levi.The Bulldogs were able to climb into fourth via a Lopez Ramirez birdie on 18 to shave a stroke off their total to finish the round Even Par (288).
Lopez Ramirez sunk three birdies in the second round to work around a bogey on the fourth hole to secure her 36th career par or better round, finishing 2-Under Par (70). Lopez Ramirez remains in first place individually with 7-Under Par (137). Senior Hannah Levi shot her second consecutive day of 1-Over Par (73) golf to remain in the top-25 for the tournament (Tied for 23rd) with 2-Over Par.
Freshman Surapa Janthamunee answered back to a tough first day on the course by carding her eighth round of par or better golf (1-Under Par, 71) to climb up the leaderboard 18 spots to tie for 32nd.
After a slow start on the back nine, freshman Izzy Pellot answered strongly and showed resilience like she has all season by carding two straight birdies on 12 and 13 to lower her score to finish 2-Over Par (72) and is tied for 40th.

Quoting Head Coach Charlie Ewing
"Everybody hung in well today. Obviously, Julia is having herself a good week, but as a team we were steady today. There were plenty of mistakes out there that leave you feeling frustrated because they feel pretty wasteful, but all in all the golf has been good. We feel that we have been positioned well consistently throughout the rounds to score but just haven't quite capitalized as much as we'd like so far. I've really noticed how everybody is using their minds to their own advantage this week which is a great sign for us. There is a ton of value in that. Combine that with just a little bit cleaner golf and being just a little more opportunistic and we can put together some special rounds. Tomorrow will be a fun day to compete with a lot out there for us to gain as a team and individually."
