Sophomore Joanne Lee paced the Bears, shooting a one-over 72 at the 5,912 yard Palos Verdes Golf Club. She was tied for seventh among the individuals, five shots back from USC's Jennifer Song, who leads the tournament at four-under. Sophomore Daniela Holmqvist shot a +5 (76) in her Cal debut, the second lowest round of the day for the Cal women.
