CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The NC State women's golf team opened play at the Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational on Friday, wrapping up the first round of competition in 12th place at seven-over par (295).
Led by Isabel Amezcua and Lauren Olivares Leon, the Wolfpack's two leading scorers each fired a 73 (+1), each sitting in a tie for 39th place individually.
Lea Kilmentova used two birdies on the front nine to post a two-over 74, and Inja Fric followed one shot behind her at 75 (+3).
Rounding out the starting five was Natalie Armbruester, who used two birdies in her first five holes of play to finish at a five-over 77.
On what was a perfect day for golf, NC State was able to take advantage of soft greens to position itself within ten shots of a top-five spot. Virginia Tech (282, -6), Wake Forest (283, -5) and Kentucky (284, -4) currently round out the top three of the team standings.
The Wolfpack is set for day two of the 54-hole event on Saturday, with staggered tee times reflecting that of today's action. The squad will tee off hole 10 between 9:30 and 10:10 a.m. with Michigan State and SMU.
