Pa. Christina Hall (Wall, N.J./Wall) established a new
single-round record to lift the Mount St. Mary's women's golf team
into a share of the lead going into the final round of the Mount
St. Mary's Fall Classic on Monday.
Hall
posted a 42 on the front nine before torching the final nine holes
with a two under score of 34 to finish the day with a 76, besting
Katie Letsch's (Baypoint, N.Y./Bayport Blue Point) previous record
set at the Monmouth Invitational on Apr. 2, 2007. Hall, who also
had a 78 in the first round of the ECAC Championships on Oct. 4,
sits in second place and three strokes behind the current
leader.

record with a round of 77 to place fourth after the first round.

program history, including four times this season. Hall and Corbett
helped the Mount notch a new team single-round mark after shooting
a 323 on its home course and earn a share of the lead with
