The Blue Devil sophomores played 36 holes Saturday to open action and combined to collect 18 birdies between them.
Shepherd, who is coming off winning the Golfweek Hoosier Amateur last weekend, currently sits in third place and only three shots off the lead with a five-under-par, 139, after carding rounds of 69 and 70. Furtney is in fourth with a three-under-par, 141, with rounds of 71 and 70.
A product of Greenwood, Ind., Shepherd opened her day with a one-over-par, 37, over her first nine holes, but closed strong with a four-under-par, 32, to finish round one with a three-under-par, 69.
