RESULTS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Courtesy of Radford's best individual round of the spring, Alexandra Austin is currently tied for seventh after the opening round of the JMU Eagle Landing Invite Friday afternoon.

Austin carded a one-over 73 and is just four shots out of second place and six strokes back of the individual leader Kaylin Yost of Campbell, whose 67 was the second lowest score in tournament history. Austin birdied three of her first six holes of the day.
