Hollywood, S.C. -- Furman freshman Jaclyn Hilea (73-71=144) posted a one-under 71 to grab a two-stroke lead and the Paladins paced the field with second round 304 to extend their advantage to six strokes Monday at the Southern Conference Women's Golf Championship at the par-72 Links at Stono Ferry.

Hilea birdied five holes, including three on the front nine, to post one of only to rounds below par on the day. The Kaneohe, Hawai'i, native moved ahead of fellow Paladin freshman Stefanie Kenoyer (70-78=148) and second place Danielle Mills (71-75=146) of Elon to carry the lead into Tuesday's final round. Mills sits two strokes back with Kenoyer and UNC Greensboro's Ashley Mylton (73-75=148) four strokes off of the pace in a third place tie.

Furman (294-304=598) weathered a rough back nine and managed to stretch its advantage to six strokes over second place UNCG (297-307=604) after two rounds.
