Cowgirl junior Candie Herrera remains in a tie for fifth place after finishing the second round with an even-par 72.
Lindberg had a span of nine holes where she was six under par, including an eagle on the par-5 eighth hole, where she holed out from approximately 75 yards. Herrera also recorded an eagle on the par-4 hole No. 4, knocking it in from about 130 yards.
Missouri had the best team score of the day with a one-under 287, moving within eight shots of the Cowgirls. Nebraska is in fourth place with a 604, and Kansas State rounds out the top-five teams with a 609.
Cowgirl senior Jennifer Karr is tied for 10th individually at 149, four strokes behind Lindberg. Junior Mallorie Underwood is tied for 16th with a 152, while freshman Karin Kinnerud rounds out the OSU golfers with a 153 and is tied for 19th.
