TEAM / INDIVIDUAL LEADERBOARD
ROUND 2 TEE TIMES

NINETY-SIX, S.C. – On the heels of being named to the all-conference squad, Megan Leineweber matched her season-low with an even-par 72 as Radford sits in third place following the opening round of the 2010 Big South Women's Golf Championships Monday.

The 54-hole/9-team event is being played on the Par 72, 5,956-yard The Patriot Club layout.

As a team, the Highlanders recorded a spring-low 304 and will enter day two just one behind top-seeded Coastal Carolina (303) and 10 back of team-leader Charleston Southern (294).

The Buccaneers' Olivia Higgins and Minjoo Lee of Bucknell opened with rounds of two-under 70 and share the individual lead by one over CSU's Katelyn Bensch (71).

In addition to finishing the first round 15 strokes below its season average (319.44), Radford posted four scores under 80 for the first time this spring.

After starting her round with a double-bogey due to an out-of-bounds tee ball, Leineweber bounced back with three birdies on her outward nine to shoot 36. On the backside, the senior suffered a double-bogey six on the 12th hole before playing the final six holes in two under.

The Highlanders' Hannah Coles is three back of Leineweber at three-over in ninth place, while sophomores Jade Okamoto and Amy McCollum also sit inside the Top-20 after shooting 78 and 79, respectively.

Despite playing the first three holes in eight-over par, Radford combined for 12 birdies, including five from Leineweber and three each by Coles and Okamoto.

Also competing for the Highlanders is Maggie Watts, who opened with a 90.

The second round will begin tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. The host Highlanders will be playing in threesomes with Coastal Carolina and Charleston Southern beginning at 9:40 a.m.
