BROWNS SUMMIT, N.C.-- The North Carolina women's golf team improved their first round score at the Bryan National Collegiate by 18 strokes and moved into 15th place as Ann Laney carded a 71. The one-under par score for Laney was 12 shots better than her first round total and was the best for any Tar Heel golfer on the day. She had three consecutive birdies on the back nine and four total. Katie Miller also showed a drastic improvement on day two of the tournament as she shot a four-over 76. Both Sydney Crane and Lauren Hunt lie four strokes behind Laney in the overall standings, while Katie Miller and Romi Irons lie eight back.
