TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The NC State men's golf team shot a team score of one-over par to sit in a tie for fifth-place out of 15 teams at the Seminole Intercollegiate held at Golden Eagle Country Club.

Senior Benjamin Shipp fired his best round of the young season, shooting a one-under-par 71 to sit in a tie for 12^th place after one round. The Duluth, Ga., native had four birdies in his opening round.

Christian Salzer and Max Steinlechner are next for the Pack in a tie for 21^st place after both shot even-par on Friday.
