DeLAND, Fla. – Campbell utilized consistent play at all four scoring positions, as each competitor shot between 3- and 4-over-par, to move past first round leader Kennesaw State and take a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the 2011 Atlantic Sun Women’s Golf Championship at Victoria Hills Golf Club.

Senior Sandra Angulo led the way for the Camels, shooting 3-over-par 75, but teammates Sarah Bejgrowicz, Michelle Koh and Kaylin Yost followed right behind, each shooting 4-over-par 76. Stetson Sophomore Alex Buelow followed up her first round 71 with a 2-over 74 to take a two-shot lead in the individual competition.

The Camels, eight-time A-Sun champions, opened the round with the four scoring members of the squad carding a combined 6-over-par on the front nine, and the quartet endured increasingly blustery conditions in the second half of the round to card the day’s best score by five strokes.

Kennesaw State, runners-up a year ago and the first-day leader this year, fell off the pace after shooting 20-over-par for the day, but enters the final round of play just two strokes off the lead. Former champions ETSU and Stetson sit three strokes behind the leader after both fired 17-over par rounds, carrying a day-one tie into the final round.

Buelow recovered from a front nine 38 to play the second nine at even par, and enter the final round with the individual lead by two strokes. The last two individuals to enter the final round with at least a share of the lead have earned medalist honors. FGCU junior Fabian Haremza carded the day’s best round with an even-par 72.

Round three begins at 8 a.m. on Wednesday with teams going off both No. 1 and No. 10. ETSU and FGCU will strike the first shots off the first tee while Lipscomb and USC Upstate will begin play off the 10th tee. Fans can follow the action at Golfstat.com.
