Athens, Ga. -- The Furman women's golf team used a 26-over-par 314 to climb to 13th place after the second round of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic Saturday afternoon at the University of Georgia Golf Course.

Blair Lamb (79-77=156) fired a five-over-par 77 to pace Furman who opened the day in 17th place.
