FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Nevada women's golf team remains in second place after two rounds at the Ptarmigan Ram Classic.
 
On Tuesday the Wolf Pack shaved two strokes off of its round one score, going from a team score of 296 to 294. However, tournament leader Boise State carded the only under par round of the day to put some separation between itself and Nevada. The Broncos will take an 11-shot lead into Wednesday's final round. For the tournament the Pack sits at 14-over and has a five-shot cushion over Big Ten member Nebraska for second.
 
Freshman Victoria Gailey, who is making her collegiate debut this week, made the biggest move on the team by jumping 20 spots on the individual leaderboard. Gailey went from a 77 in the opening round to a 2-under 70 in round two to leap into the top 15. She played a flawless front nine, making three birdies and no bogeys and played the difficult back nine well by making one birdie and six pars. She heads into the final round in a tie for 14^th.
 
Above Gailey on the leaderboard is senior Chaithra Katamneni, who began the day just two shots back of the lead. Katamneni turned in another solid round on Tuesday, firing a 1-over 73 by way of two birdies and 13 pars. She is tied for fourth at 1-under for the tournament but the individual leader, Tara Finigan of Boise State, went low with a 7-under 65 to put 10 shots of distance between her and Katamneni. Overall Finigan leads by seven over Vanessa Bouvet of Nebraska.
 
Junior Jenny Krause posted an identical score to her first round, matching the 75 she shot yesterday. After two double bogeys on the front nine, Krause played solid the rest of the way making two birdies and six pars during the rest of her round. She, along with senior Kaitlin Collom, are tied for 26^th place in the 75-player field. Collom was unable to find any red numbers out on the course today and finished her round with a 76. Junior Katy Rutherford shaved two strokes off her first round score to post a 76 and is tied for 43^rd.
