RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Colorado State made a 10-shot improvement in its second round and moved up to seventh after two rounds of the 2022 Mountain West Women's Golf Championship Tuesday. The three-day, 54-hole event, hosted by the Mountain West, is being played at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club (Par 72 – 6,270 yards) in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

The Rams made significant strides in the second round, cutting 10 shots off their opening 18 score and posted a 9-over 297 for the day to move up to seventh at 28-over 604. No. 5 San Jose State continues to hold a commanding lead, as the Spartans are at 7-under 569, 25 shots ahead of Fresno State in second at 18-over 594. New Mexico is currently third at 19-over 595, with Boise State at 21-over 597 and No. 50 UNLV at 23-over 599 rounding out the top five teams.

Sophomore Sofia Torres and junior Andrea Bergsdottir are next in a tie for 15th one shot back of Uchida at 6-over 150. Torres had the Rams' low round of the tournament so far with an even-par 72 for the second 18.
