Andrea Lee led her team on the last 18-holes by going 3-under 33 on the back nine and pushed Stanford into the top of the NCAA packed field. Liu finished tied for 3rd and had her best round as an NCAA collegiate player.
Wang tied for 8th in the individual field after going 9-over for a total of 225. Lee tied for 12th after her amazing back nine on day two but her second round 81 kept her lower on the leaderboard. Krauter stayed in the top 15 with an 11-over 227 after staying in tune with Liu on day one.

She has seven career victories at her career in Stanford and has broken par in her 9 of 13 rounds this season. According to golf week and Golfstat, Lee is the No.1 NCAA individual in the country!
