Lahaina, Maui, Hawai'i – The Bowling Green State University men's golf team posted a first round team score of 292, +8, to end day one in 13th-place overall on Friday at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic hosted by the University of Hawai'i at the Ka'anapali Golf Course in Lahaina, Maui, Hawai'i.

The Falcons are 16 strokes behind the tournament leader, but are just four strokes out of the top-10 of the 19 team field heading into the second round of play on Saturday.

"We didn't play our best today and had a couple of big numbers," commented head coach Kevin Farrell. "But, there is still two more rounds of play, so we are going to go out and give it our best shot tomorrow in order to give us a chance on the final day."

Leading the Falcons on day one was junior Brett Rinker with a first round 70, -1 under par. Rinker, who posted a top-10 finish at last year's event, carded two birdies and 15 pars on the day to put himself in a tie for 18th after 18 holes of play.

Behind Rinker was both Jose Narro and Cameron Michalak who turned in identical rounds of 73, +2, to place in a tie for 43rd-place overall. Narro tallied three birdies and 13 pars on the day, while Michalak had a more up-and-down round with three birdies and 11 pars over his 18 holes.

Freshman Pablo Heredia Iglesias concluded day one with a round of 76, +5, while Mitchell Kontak shot a round of 79, +8. Iglesias recorded one birdie and 12 pars to end day one in a tie at 72nd-place overall, while Kontak had two birdies and nine pars over his round to place in a tie at 89th on Friday.

No. 13 Oklahoma leads after day one with a first round team score of 276, -8 under par, while No. 35 N.C. State is three strokes off the lead with its 18-hole team score of 279, -5 under par. Host Hawai'i sits in third-place at 282, -2 under par, while No. 22 South Carolina is in fourth at 284, even par.

The second round of play is set for an 8:30 a.m. HT shotgun start on Saturday, Nov. 7.
