The Ladyjacks shot a 320 in the opening round from the par-70, Lincoln Park East Course, to finish the day 11th overall. The Ladyjacks trail Northeastern State, Henderson State and Harding University by only five strokes.
SFA had two players tie for the team's lowest round led by freshmen Wallis Spears and Chelsea Simmons. The duo finished the day with a 78 to finish tied for 23rd overall.
