T25	Leigha Devine	73 (+2)	73 (+2)
T46	Nicole Ewing	75 (+4)	75 (+4)

Devine played a clean and consistent round, rolling in 14 pars on the day and picking up a birdie on the par-3 6th hole to help her shoot a 2-over 73 and lead the Scarlet Knights on the individual side.

Nicole Ewing was one stroke off her season-low score with a four-over 75. She birdied the 6th and 8th holes to propel her in the opening round.

"Today our team was put to the test on a great golf course," head coach Kari Williams said. "Many holes require the ball to be put in specific landing zones and the greens have some significant contours. Leigha and Nicole put together solid rounds for us and tomorrow we need to clean up a few mistakes and be ready to compete."

The Scarlet Knights will tee off for round two on Saturday with a shotgun start set for 10 a.m. ET.
