By: Oregon State Communications

TEMPE, Ariz. – Hannah Swanson fired an even-par 72 for the second straight day at the PING/ASU Invitational to lead the Oregon State women's golf team on Saturday.

The Beavers are in seventh place with a 10-over 291-295--586 at the par-72, 6,223-yard ASU Karsten Golf Course.

It looks to be a two-team race for the title between Arizona State (10-under 566) and Arizona (7-under 569).

The final round of the three-day, 54-hole tournament begins at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday and live scoring is available at golfstat.com.

"I'm really proud of the way Hannah managed the golf course today," Oregon State head coach Dawn Shockley said. "She didn't have her best stuff but she worked with what she had and got it done.

"Overall, we played okay today but made a couple mistakes with our mental and course management. These are things in our control and we'll adjust and make better decisions tomorrow."

Swanson, a junior from Forest Grove, Ore., had two birdies on Saturday is in a tie for 12th place with a 72-72--144. She has one career top-10 finish, a tie for sixth place at the Westbrook Spring Invitational last year.

Junior Susie Cavanagh also stayed consistent, posting a 1-over 73 for the second straight day to put her in a tie for 21st with a 2-over 73-73--146.

Sophomore Olivia Benzin is tied for 28th with a 3-over 73-74--147, freshman Nicole Schroeder is tied for 39th with a 5-over 73-76--149 and senior Elyse Smidinger is tied for 70th with a 10-over 77-77--154.
