LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kendall Griffin of the University of Louisville women's golf team remained in contention for a tournament title by shooting a 2-under-par 70 during the second round of the Moon Golf Invitational at the Suntree Country Club's Classic Course on Monday.

The Cardinals shot a 17-over-par 305 to close the second round in 12^th place. Florida State carded a second round of 1-under-par 287 to hold a two-shot lead over second-place Virginia. UCF is third and LSU is fourth, while Auburn and Florida are tied for fifth.

Griffin, who is at 6-under-par, enters the final round five shots off the lead after LSU's Ingrid Lindblad extended her advantage by firing a 5-under-par 67 on Monday. Tunrada Poon of UCF is in second place one shot ahead of Griffin.

A former LSU transfer, Griffin recorded six birdies on the day – 3 on each side – but recorded a double bogey on No. 3 and a bogey on No. 13 to close her round at 2-under.

Playing as individuals, Gabbi Bentancourt shot a 2-over-74 to sit in 19^th place, while Agustina-Gomez Cisterna moved up to 28^th after her even-par 72. Hana Ryskova dipped into a tie for 56^th after her round of 80 and Carmen Griffiths and Mairead Martin are tied for 70^th after their rounds of 81 and 77, respectively. Lauren Thibodeau is tied for 79^th and Molly Lyne and Carly Haines are in 81^st and 84^th place.
