CARROLLTON, Texas – The Oklahoma Baptist women's golf team finished day two at the University of Central Missouri's Southern Invitational squarely in fifth place after shooting a team total of 329 (+41) Monday at Indian Creek Golf Club. OBU goes into the final round with an eight-stroke advantage over Regis and Drury.
 
Hayden Meiser was the top finisher for the Bison in round two, shooting 77 (+5), an improvement of four strokes from day one. She is tied for eighth with UCM's Claire Solovic and only two strokes away from sixth place.
 
Elly Baze finished day two with an 80 (+8), the second-lowest score for the Bison. She improved her day one total by one stroke and currently sits tied for 13th.

Josie Patterson (84) and Michelle Carr (88) rounded out the scoring for OBU on the second day of competition.
 
"I'm super excited about this tournament for a lot of reasons," said Baze. "It's the first time we get to compete as a team in almost a year and you don't realize how special those memories are until they are gone. Also, we have worked so hard in the offseason and pushed each other to be better, so I cannot wait to see it all come together this season. Since it's my senior season, I'm looking forward to playing our best and soaking up every moment of it."
 
OBU will close out the tournament on Tuesday, Feb. 9. Group one will tee off at 9:30 a.m.
