Ardina made two birdies in the first seven holes before ending the front nine with a bogey. Her other birdie came on 16.
Abby Arevalo and Pauline del Rosario also made the cut after carding a 73 and 70, respectively but Clariss Guce was eliminated after a 75 Arevalo bucked an opening double bogey with two birdies against a bogey to bring her total to 1-under 143.
