The Dons have two golfers in the top-15 led by sophomore Pearl Rojanapeansatith who sits in fourth followed freshman Annika Borrelli who is in tied for 13th. USF was solid on par-3 and par-5s all day. On the short par-3s the Dons averaged a 2.94 as a team. On par-5s USF averaged 4.88. The Dons carded 20 birdies on the day, tops in the tournament after 18 holes.
Rojanapeansatith finished the afternoon 3-under carding a 69. She recorded five birdies on the day, four on holes 1-9. She was one of three players by USF on the day to finish par-3s under par.
Borrelli finished the opening 18 holes with a 1-under 71. After a bogey on 15 to start the round, she carded four-straight birdies. Borrelli tied with Rojanapeansatith and fellow freshman Jade Siphomsay with five birdies on the day, which is tied for fifth most in the tournament.
Junior Samantha Gong played a solid round, she finished with a 1-over 73 which was tied for 35th. On holes 10-18 she played even golf, she recorded 15 pars on the day which is second most in the tournament.
Siphomsay finished her first round tied for 50th with a 3-over 75. She carded five birdies on the day, but was weighed down by three double-bogies. Joan Soewondo finished tied for 63rd with a 4-over 76. She carded four birdies on the round.
Tulsa's Olivia Jackson is the individual leader after 18, she finished with a 6-under 66. Oregon State is the team leader with an 8-under 280 after the first day.
COACH'S QUOTE
"Today was a good day," said head coach Sara Doell. "The team shot even par led by Pearl who shot three under 69. It is nice to enter the final fall tournament starting on a very strong note through round one. I am continually impressed by Pearl's strength and leadership on the golf course and excited for her to shoot her lowest collegiate round to date. Annika also she tied her lowest collegiate round in her young career. We can definitely see our hard work paying off and we still have more work to do. Looking forward to a strong day tomorrow."
