True freshman Yu-Chu Chen set the pace for the Pokes, going 1-under to card a 69 in her NCAA postseason debut. Chen has now played at par-or-better in five of her last seven rounds and sits in a tie for fifth after Monday's action.
First Team All-Big 12 selection Marta Silchenko added an even-par 70, marking her 15th round at par-or-better this season. Silchenko's five birdies tied for third-most on the day among the event's 66-player field.
