For the second consecutive day, Wyoming sophomore Alison McGuire, from Cheyenne, Wyo., fired the best round of her college career. In the second round of the Mountain West Conference Women's Golf Championship on Tuesday, McGuire shot a 74. That is three shots better than her previous personal best of 77, which she shot on Monday. She is tied for ninth place in the field of 25 competitors. Entering this week, McGuire's previous low round as a collegian had been a 79. She will enter Wednesday's third and final round tied with Heather Rollo of San Diego State for ninth place at 151. New Mexico leads in the team competition with a team score of 578. Wyoming is in fifth place in the field of five MWC schools, with a team score of 629. Elise Kase of New Mexico is the individual leader with a two-round total of 139. "Alison (McGuire) continued her outstanding play again today ," said Wyoming women's golf coach Jill Johnson. "You could see the determination on her face today. She is really playing with a lot of confidence, and has hit so many good shots this week. Alison is still in the Top 10, and she's within four strokes of fifth place entering tomorrow's final round. "As a team, we played much better today, lowering our score by five strokes from Monday. But all the other teams stepped up today, as well. No doubt, we would like to be higher in the standings, but on a positive note, the girls have made a lot of improvement from the beginning of the season until now."
