Head Golf Coach Marc Heidorf added, "Jaqlyn continued her solid weekend, nailing some long putts and flirting with the school record again while Peyton put up her best score of the season!"
Mere strokes behind Davis, Taylor Yordt (So./Omaha, Neb.) turned in a par on the 163 yard par-3 on the fifth hole, then completed the round with a total 118 strokes.
"The ball was booming off of Taylor's club as she held her own pretty well playing in the first group for the first time." Coach Heidorf went on, "Her chip in for par on #6 was one of the better shots around the green all afternoon."
Teammates Ariel Oviedo (Sr./Shawano, Wis.) and Katie Swofford (So./West Allis, Wis.) turned in their best rounds of the 2016 season. Oviedo placed 11th individual play out of the 13 golfers with a 127. Courtney Furlow (So./Appleton, Wis.) was right behind Oviedo with a 132 on the day.
