Day two of the 2017 NESCAC Women’s Golf Championship started in a steady rain that softened the Taconic layout and slowed the greens. The temperature was in the low 70s. The rain persisted for the first six or so holes and then it stopped. A few breaks of sunshine arrived throughout the middle of the second round and the final round was played mostly under cloudy skies.
