NORMAN, Okla. With a second-round 301 (+13) and two-day total of 618 (+42), the Oklahoma women's golf team has climbed from 12th place to a tie for ninth after day two of the Big 12 Tournament in Lincoln, Neb.  The Sooners are 26 strokes behind the second-day leader Oklahoma State.

True freshman Kendall Dye continues to lead the way for the Sooners, but sophomore Heather Wright posted the round of the day.  Dye remains in the top-20 after shooting a round-two 76 (+4) for a combined score of 153 (+9).  Wright fired an even-par 72, tying her season-low set at last week's Susie Maxwell in Norman.  With four birdies today, Wright moved up to 29th place.

Sophomore Kelly Jacques produced a 75 (+3) in the second round and is tied for 32nd place with a total 156 (+12).  Junior Jaclyn Stelzer managed a total score of 157 (+13) after a second-round 79 (+7), good for a 35th place tie.  After carding a 78 (+6), lone senior Amparo Gala is tied for 41st place with a 159 (+15).

The Big 12 Tournament is being held at the 6,201-yard, par-72 Country Club of Lincoln.  The final round of the three-day event will begin Wednesday morning.
