The team notched 14 birdies on the round and sunk its first eagle of the fall season.
Abbie Lee led the way for the Blue Raiders, earning her second round under par of the season in Highlands Ranch. Continuing her consistent play, she carded three birdies and finished her front nine at one-under-par, turning in a 71 (-1) through 18 holes and placing T16 overall.
