PINEHURST, N.C. - The University of Richmond women's golf team is in fifth place, just one stroke out of a tie for third after the first round of the 2006 Colonial Athletic Association Women's Golf Championship played Friday at Pinehurst No. 6.
Richmond will begin the second round of the three-round tournament with tee times starting at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday.
Richmond shot a 332 on the challenging Pinehurst No. 6 course. Georgia State shot a 317 to take the lead after the first round, while William & Mary carded a 318 to sit in second. UNC-Wilmington and James Madison are tied for third at 331, followed by the Spiders. Xavier sits four strokes behind the Spiders in six place in the nine-team field.
"We just weren't rewarded for some great shots today," Richmond head coach Leighann Rastede said. "We did make some great shots, but had some bad bounces and bad chips. We're not making excuses, the scores were very high across the board. We're looking forward to another round tomorrow."
Senior Lauren Ritter is tied for seventh after shooting a 10-over-par 81 on the 5,944 course. Senior Lesley Monachino is tied for 11th after shooting an 11-over 82 and freshman Rosario Germino carded an 83 and is tied for 17th.
Junior Ashley Lambert shot an 86 and is tied for 26th, while sophomore Alex Latimer is tied for 36th after carding a 93.
