ORLANDO, Fla. -- Four Tigers finished the second round of the Central Florida Challenge in the top-10 as the No. 3 Auburn women's golf team moved into a tie for first with Baylor at 7-under 569. The Tigers carded a second-round 284 to pull even with the Bears and take a seven-stroke lead over the rest of the competition.

She enters Tuesday's final round in a tie for third with Tulane's Maribel Lopez Porras and Miami's Leticia Ras-Anderica after carding rounds of 75-67--142.
"Diana really had a breakthrough today with college golf," Auburn head coach Kim Evans said. "I'm excited to see how she does tomorrow."
