WILMINGTON, N.C. -- Northwestern shot a 19-over 307 over the second round of the Landfall Tradition, two strokes better than its first round 21-over 309. But lower scores by the majority of the field moved the Wildcats into a tie for 14th-place with Texas Tech heading into Sunday's final round.
It was a big day for the Lederhausen sisters as both Alex and Rebecca (Hinsdale, Ill./Central) paced the Wildcats with a 3-over 75 over the second 18 holes. Alex Lederhausen moved into the top spot among the Northwestern competitors, compiling a two-round score of 9-over 153. She leads teammate Lauren Weaver (Scottsdale, Ariz./Cactus Shadows) by one stroke after Weaver's 7-over 79 upped her 36 hole score to 10-over 154.
Rebecca Lederhausen checks in at the third spot among the Wildcats with an 11-over 155 after her 3-over 75 round two performance. Anne Ormson (Granger, Ind./St. Anthony's) is two strokes back with a 13-over 157, followed by Devon Brown's (Rancho Santa Fe, Calif./Cathedral Catholic) 14-over 158.
Northwestern, which began the day in a three-way tie for 13th-place with Florida State and UT-Chattanooga, extended its lead over the Seminoles to seven strokes following FSU's 26-over 314 in round two. But the Mocs used a 15-over 303 to move into sole possession of 11th place in the team standings. The Wildcats enter Sunday's final round tied with Texas Tech, one stroke back of 13th-place Oklahoma State and two shots behind 12th-place North Carolina State. Chattanooga holds a four-stroke advantage on Northwestern with 10th-place Ohio State leading NU by six shots.
Duke, ranked sixth in the nation, moved into sole possession of first place in the team standings, posting a 4-under 284 on the day and sitting at 1-under 575 for the tournament.

Northwestern will be teamed with a pair of Big XII schools in Oklahoma State and Texas Tech in Sunday's final round.
