 UE Women In Fifth Following Opening Round In Ohio

Mallory Russell leads Aces

 BOARDMAN, Ohio – Mallory Russell posted a 3-over 75 to help the University of Evansville women’s golf team finish the opening day of the Roseann Schwartz Invite in fifth place.

Russell’s first 18 holes at Mill Creek Golf Course North have her in a tie for 10th place at the midway point of the event.  The final 18 holes will be played on Tuesday morning.  One stroke behind her was the duo of Alyssa McMinn and Allison Enchelmayer.  Both wrapped up the opening round with final tallies of 76, four over par.

Carly Frazier had a strong opening day, finishing with an 81 while Caitlin O’Donnell was one behind her with an 82.  They are tied for 42nd and 51st, respectively.  Lucia Pantigozo opened up her college career with an 83.

As a team, the Purple Aces are in solid shape, ranking fifth out of 14 schools with a 308.  UE is right in the hunt to move up in the standings, trailing Detroit Mercy and Youngstown State by just two shots for a spot in the top three.  Akron leads the way with a 297 while Cleveland State is second, five behind.

Haley Barclay of Western Michigan paces the individual leaderboard.  Her 3-under 69 has her two in front of Akron’s Abbie Pearce.
