Legaspi then won back-to-back holes on #10 and #11 and led throughout the rest of the match, taking the 18th to give the Bruins their second point.
Vu was the second Bruin on the course, but fell 5 and 3 to Virginia Elena Carta. The front nine was a back-and-forth affair, with seven of the holes going one way or the other. Vu won #1, #5 and #9, while Carta took #3, #4, #6 and #7 to take a 1-up lead to the back nine. Carta extended her advantage with wins at #11, #12 and #14, closing out Vu on the 15th.
