The FGCU women's golf team shot a 612 (+36) on the opening day of the Brickyard Collegiate on Monday, which has the Eagles positioned in a tie for 12th-place in a loaded field that features 11 teams ranked among the top-100 of the latest GolfStat rankings.
The teams battled through a nearly two-hour lightning delay in a long opening day, and they'll conclude the event with 18 holes on Tuesday via an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.
"It was a battle out there just from a weather standpoint and it being a marathon day," FGCU head coach Sarah Trew said. "I think we are putting too much pressure on ourselves and just need to go out tomorrow and play more freely."
Senior Madeline Marck-Sherk, behind her second-round 73, is tied for 30th individually and leads the Eagles with a 150 (+6). Sophomore Natalia Nassar checks in second on the team with a 153 (+9), which has her tied for 47th.
The trio of freshman Laura Edmonds (154, +10), senior Kelsy Holbert (155, +11) and junior Ailsa Clark (158, +14) are all separated by four strokes.
Next Up:
Following Tuesday's final round, which concludes the regular season, the Green and Blue will compete in the A-SUN tournament April 21-23 at Chateau Elan in Braselton, Ga.
