RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. – The 26th-ranked Miami Hurricanes are tied for eighth Tuesday after 36 holes at the SDSU Farms Invitational. Miami bettered its second-day score by three strokes, shooting a second-round 300, and is 27-over through two days.

UCLA and Stanford are under par through two rounds. UCLA owns a four-stroke lead at 5-under 571, while Stanford is second at 1-under 575. USC and Arizona State are tied for third at 3-over 579.

San Diego State’s Emma Henrikson, who shared the first-round lead Monday, now owns a three-stroke lead all to herself at 7-under 137. Stanford duo Casey Danielson and Lauren Kim are tied for second overall at 4-under 140.
