The Blue Devils lead by six shots over Vanderbilt, Auburn and Virginia with 36 holes remaining.

The Blue Devils were led by junior Anna Grzebien, who posted a two-under-par score of 70 on Friday and is tied for the individual lead along with Leah Wigger of Virginia.

Senior Liz Janangelo had the best start of the day for the Blue Devils with birdies on her first two holes, had a bogey on No. 5, but came back with another birdie three holes later to remain at two-under-par. A product of West Hartford, Conn., Janangelo then suffered a double-bogey on the par-four ninth hole to finish off her first eight holes at even par. Janangelo went on to post bogeys on holes 13 and 16 but finished the final three holes at one-under-par. She enters Saturday tied for 11th, individually.
