SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN, Ariz. – No. 2 Oklahoma State women's golf finished the day three strokes off the lead after the opening 18-holes of the Rapsodo in the Desert on Sunday with a round of 281 at the Superstition Mountain Golf Course.

Oklahoma State finished 7-under at the par 72, 6,498-yard layout.

"It was great to get back to competition after almost three months off," head coach Greg Robertson said. "The team played solid, and it was great to see them make quite a few birdies out there today. We just need to clean up a few mistakes. We're looking forward to a competitive final round against some great teams."

After the opening 18 holes of the 54-hole tournament, eight strokes separated the top-three teams as Arizona State will head into the second and final day leading the field at 10-under.
