    HENDERSON, Nev. - The Illini dropped to 15th place after four of five Illinois golfers shot six-over-par in the second round of Tuesday's UNLV Spring Invitational.

    Sophomore Stephanie Mory's streak of four consecutive top-ten rounds came to an end as a result of a round that included a pair of double-bogeys and left her 14 places lower than when she began the day. The shot differential was not nearly as stark for fellow sophomore Seul Ki Park. Park worsened by two shots but surrendered 20 places on the leaderboard.

    A third Orange and Blue sophomore, Casey Burden, and senior Megan Godfrey actually improved with their +6 rounds. Burden bettered her first-round total by one stroke but nonetheless lost nine spots. Godfrey maintained her position in the standings even though she subtracted three strokes off her previous total.

    UNLV and Long Beach State exchanged first and second places, following Long Beach State's seven-shot decline and UNLV's one-shot progression. Long Beach State's Kay Hoey (-4) retained a share of first place and is joined by New Mexico's Mikaela Backstedt after Backstedt climbed six places on day two.
