TEMPE, Ariz. --
Rachel Raastad's even-par 71, her low round of the season, keyed a 294 for TCU as the Horned Frogs moved into ninth place after Saturday's second round of the PING/ASU Invitational in Tempe, Ariz.
A senior from Asker, Norway, Raastad had two birdies Saturday and is tied for 26th individually with a 4-over 146. The 71 was her best round since Nov. 1, 2010 at the Alamo Invitational in San Antonio.
Alexandra Bonetti and Sanna Nuutinen both recorded 74s for TCU, while April McCoy added a 75.

The Bruins' Tiffany Lua, the nation's ninth-ranked player, has a 5-under 137 and is the individual leader by one shot over Demi Runas of UC Davis.
