"It was a lot better today, but we just didn't have enough to make our move into the lead," said ACU Head Coach Rob Bennett. "Still, lots of positives with three players under par and Delaney and Sydney both finishing in the top five. We are right on the doorstep of getting a win, so don't be shocked if you see us at the top of the board in Houston."
