SAN MARCOS, Texas – University of Houston senior All-American Leonie Harm drained six birdies and an eagle to finish with a 65 and tie the school record following the Second Round at the Jim West Challenge.

Competing on the 6,185-yard course at Kissing Tree Golf Club, Harm bettered her First-Round score by 10 strokes. She equaled the record 18-hole low she first set during the Final Round at the 2018 NCAA Austin Regional at UT Golf Club in Austin, Texas.

Starting the second round on No. 11, the Gerlingen, Germany, native took off on the right foot with back-to-back birdies and, following two straight pars, added another birdie on the par-3 15^th hole.

Following her lone bogey of the round on No. 17, Harm recovered with an eagle on the par-4 18^th hole. After a par on No. 1 , she added consecutive birdies again on Nos. 2-3 and sank her final birdie of the day on No. 6 before capping the day with four straight pars.

Harm joined Annika Clark (TCU), Pi-Lillebi Hermansson (Mississippi) and Courtney Dow (Texas A&M) in a tie for third at 4-under 140.

Florida State's Frida Kinhult stood atop the individual leaderboard at 136, while Renate Grimstad (Miami) (Fla.) was in second at 137.

As a team, the Cougars tied their season-low round with a 3-under 285 in the Second Round and were stood in seventh at 579.

TCU held the first-day lead with a score of 9-under 567 to stand five strokes in front of Florida State. Mississippi (575), host Texas State (575), Missouri (578) and Oklahoma (578) rounded out the Top-6 leaders with Memphis (582), Miami (Fla.) (584), Mississippi State (587) and Texas A&M (587) completing the Top 11.

Freshman Hannah Screen continues to impress during her first collegiate season. After opening with an even-par 72 in Sunday's First Round, the Berkhamsted, U.K., native finished at 146 to tie for 28^th.

Fellow freshman Maria Jose Martinez was tied for 33^rd at 147, while seniors Maddy Rayner and Tatiana Pineda were tied for 44^th at 149.

The Cougars look to finish their first 54-hole tournament this season in three tries. Houston's visit to the Mason Rudolph Championship (Sept. 23-25) and Maryb S. Kauth Invitational (Oct. 14-16) each were shortened to 36 holes due to wet weather.
