HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, FLA. – The Cortland women's golf team remains in 26th place after the second day of competition at the 2023 NCAA Division III Women's Golf Championships. The championship is being held on the El Campeon Golf Course at the Mission Inn Resort & Club.
 
Cortland posted a score of 356, five strokes better than its first-round score from Tuesday. The Red Dragons' two-day total of 717 is one stroke behind Catholic University and seven behind Aurora University. The second round was halted mid-day due to weather, leading to a darkness suspension with seven schools needing to finish. George Fox is the current leader with a two-day score of 629, followed by Claremont-Mudd-Scripps with a 634.
 
Cortland's tee-off times for Thursday's third round begin at 12:10 p.m. After Thursday's action the field will be reduced to the top 15 teams, and top six individuals not on those teams, for Friday's final round.
