BIRMINGHAM- Lauren Barattini shot an 84 to help lead the Majors at day two of the SAA championships hosted by Birmingham Southern.

"I am so proud of the progress that Barattini has made. Every aspect of her game has improved in her first two seasons of college golf," Coach Eddie Brescher said after the round.

"She continues to work hard and keep her always positive attitude. For her to post her best round of college golf at the conference championship is a great accomplishment that we are all proud of."

Barattini's 84 was second to Lauren Durbin on the Majors who fired an 82 to remain in the hunt in the individual portion of the tournament. The freshman is currently in a tie for eighth. Barattini's efforts today have her in a tie for 25th.

The Majors took advantage of another good scoring day to knock 16 shots off their round one team score.

"The weather was suppose to be a factor in today's round, but we lucked out and had another day of great weather," Brescher said.  "Our girls improved on their round one scores which I am very proud of.  Each and every tournament round these girls play, they continue to improve so we look to finish up this tournament on a positive note tomorrow." 

The Majors look to continue to improve heading into round three but the conditions may not be as favorable. 

"Tomorrow calls for rainy weather, so our fingers are crossed that we can catch a break with the weather and finish up strong at this tournament," Brescher said.
