The Mesa team improved to fourth place, and MCC's Alyzzah Vakasioula is now in second place individually at the NJCAA Division I Women's golf national championships.
The T-Birds improved their team score from 326 to 322 for a 36-hole total of 648, one shot in front of Iowa Western.
Meanwhile, Vakasioula also improved one shot to a 74 for a 149 total over the rugged Mayfair C.C. layout, but now trails leader Nagano Minori, of Seminole State, by six. Vakasioula is the only non-Seminole State player in the top five.
Among other ACCAC players, Pima's Maria Harrouch carded an 82 and slipped to a tie for 13th place with a 36-hole total of 158.
South Mountain's Kylie Rehberger improved to an 84 and is in 51st place with a 172 total.
The event continues through Thursday.
