The fourth-ranked Stanford women's golf team shot a stellar four-under-par 284 today to vault into second place at the Arizona Invitational in Tucson, Arizona. Host Arizona would take the team title with a three-day total of 875. The Cardinal finished eight strokes back at 883. Rounding out the top five are Duke (888), Southern California (892) and New Mexico State (899).

Freshman Angela Rho carded a one-under-par 71 on the afternoon and finished tied for 17th while frosh Marcia Wallis tied for 22nd with a 226.
