CARLSBAD, Calif. – The Kansas State women’s golf team recorded a score of 13-over par 301 on Saturday to fall 10 spots into a tie for 17th place during the second round of the 2025 NCAA Championship held at the par-72, 6,330-yard Omni La Costa Resort & Spa.
 
K-State sits at 14-over par 590 through two rounds to sit in a tie with LSU and will need to move up at least two spots on Sunday to survive the 54-hole cut. 
 
“The conditions were tough,” head coach Stew Burke said. “We knew being in the afternoon wave that we would have to grind and hang in there. We actually grinded pretty well, but we just gave up a couple of bogeys in the end. That will put us in the afternoon wave again tomorrow in the tougher conditions. Unfortunately, we just didn’t play well today, but, at the start of the week, all we wanted was a chance. We’re not too far back. We have to get off to a better start tomorrow.”
 
The Wildcats are only one shot out of a tie for 15th place. The top 15 teams following Sunday’s third round will advance to play in the final round of stroke play on Monday.
 
Sophomore Alenka Navarro and senior Carla Bernat led the Wildcats on Saturday as each tallied a score of 2-over par 74. Starting on No. 10, both players had a pair of bogeys over their first nine holes before paring every hole on the front half of the course.
 
Navarro enters Sunday’s third round in a tie for 19th place at even-par 144, while Bernat is tied for 33rd place at 2-over par 146.
 
Senior Sophie Bert went 4-over par 76 with three birdies on the day as she is tied for 103rd place at 8-over par 152. Bert is two shots back of freshman Nanami Nakashima, who is tied for 80th place following a round of 7-over par 79.
 
Junior Noa van Beek improved three strokes off her first-round score as she tallied a 5-over par 77. She enters Sunday’s round tied for 141st place at 13-over par 157.
 
Top-ranked Stanford had the round of the day at 10-under par 278, rising 10 spots on the leaderboard to take over the top spot. The Cardinal is at 5-under par 571, five shots ahead of Northwestern. Mississippi State’s Avery Weed holds a two-shot lead on the individual leaderboard at 7-under par 137.
 
The Wildcats tee off the third round of the NCAA Championship on Sunday off No. 1 beginning at 11:50 a.m., and K-State is paired with UCLA and LSU. Live results can be followed on SCOREBOARD powered by Clippd.
