WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The 17th-ranked Purdue women's golf team ended the second round of the Lady Northern Invitational in first place with a two-round total of 593 (+17). The Boilermakers are hosting at their home course, the par-72, 6,276-yard Kampen Course in West Lafayette, Ind.

After the first two rounds, sophomore Junthima Gulyanamitta sits atop the leader board with a one-under par 143. Gulyanamitta recorded four bogeys in the morning round, but managed to turn in a one-over par 73 after carding birdies on holes 1, 10 and 17. In the afternoon, Gulyanamitta made up ground, firing a team-best two-under par 70. This is the second consecutive tournament Gulyanamitta has led as an individual heading into the final round.

Two-stokes behind Gulyanamitta and in a tie for second is sophomore Maude-Aimee Leblanc.
