After the first day of the Badger Invitational in Verona, Wis., Illinois is in ninth place. The Illini shot rounds of 313 and 306 on Saturday, good for 43-over par and one stroke behind Maryland and Georgetown, who are tied for seventh. California leads at 17-over par.

The Illini were paced by freshman Hailey Koschmann, who finished the day tied for second at one-under par. Koschmann shot a three-under 69 to lead the tournament after the first round, but a two-over 74 knocked her to a tie for second. She will enter the final round Sunday six strokes behind Wisconsin freshman Jessie Gerry’s score of seven-under par.
