Teams don't always need a conventional roster to rise to the top.
Washington, sporting two seniors and three freshman this week, fired a second-round 4-over 288 on Monday to jump from seven back to a tie for the lead at the Northrop-Grumman Regional Challenge, which boasts nine teams in the Golfweek top-15 rankings.
The No. 15 Huskies, who are 5 over in 36 holes, saw four rounds of 73 or better from its group on Monday, as four of the five starters sit in the top 15.
