Palm Coast, Fla. — Led by the red-hot play of Maria Pardo Victori, the Bethel University women’s golf team made a big move in round #2 of the NCCAA National Championship Tuesday.

The sensational junior from Sevilla, Spain carded six birdies on the day to offset a quadruple bogey on hole #9 and ended the round firing a three over par 75.

Pardo Victori wasn’t the only one to shine on this day, as Jessica Shurety and Taeyon Kwon both fired scores of 76 respectively.
