MANCHESTER, N.H.

Freshman Emma Beaulieu posted her first career top five finish, following up a program-low round of 74 on Saturday with a second-day 79 today for a program-best two-day score of 153 (+9). She added another birdie on the par-four tenth hole to her program-record three birdies on Saturday, finishing with ten pars on Sunday.
