PUEBLO, Colo. – Vaijayanti Bharkhada earned her first top-10 finish of the season at the Proal Invitational, as her second-round score of 10-over par 82 helped her tie for eighth in the 58-player field.
 
Bharkhada had shot 75 in Monday's first round.
 
"We are proud of V for the top 10 finish," MSU Denver coach Stef Ferguson said. "She hit great shots both rounds."
 
Scores soared across the board on a windy Tuesday in Pueblo, and the Roadrunners slid one spot in the team standings to place fifth among 10 teams. After shooting a four-player total of 314 on Monday, the Roadrunners shot 332 on Tuesday at the 6,190-yard Pueblo Country Club.
 
"We beat ourselves today," Ferguson said. "It was a disappointing way to finish that event. We let the windy conditions get the best of us."
 
Isabel Botero did shoot 80, one stroke better than her first-round score, on a day when only eight players shot in the 70s. Botero finished tied for 16^th overall.
 
Winnie Shaw shot 84 and Mackenzie Carpenter shot 86. After a first-round 77, Carpenter wound up tied for 21^st overall.
