"We kept it together today and I'm really proud of the fight I saw from everyone," Herd head coach Brooke Burkhammer said. "Need another good round tomorrow for a strong finish!"
Rauch scored a 3-over 75 in the first round and then came back with a career-best even-par 72 in the second round. She birdied four times on the front-nine and five times total in the second round. Rauch finished the day with seven birdies.
Senior Torren Kalaskey scored a 1-over 73 in the first round and ended the day tied for 10th. Fellow senior Jackie Schmidt sank a total of six birdies and is tied for 18th.
