BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University women's golf team sits in fifth place after the first 18 holes of the Dolores Black Falcon Invitational. BGSU's annual invitational was played on a beautiful day at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green. The Falcons posted a team score of 306 on Saturday (April 6) afternoon.

Oakland (295), Ohio (298), Eastern Michigan (303) and Cleveland State (304) sit in front of Bowling Green. The Falcons are within position to climb up the leaderboard heading into tomorrow's final round of play, which will begin with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.

Julia Durkin led Bowling Green on the day and sits tied for eighth after carding an opening-round 75. Sammi Blackburn (T-11 | 76), Katie Whitfield (T-11 | 76) and Nichole Cox (T-19 | 77) all sit within the top 20 on the individual leaderboard. Erin Fahey (T-27 | 78) and Sarah Kern (T-30 | 79) turned in rounds sub-80, while the Falcon lineup was rounded out by Dani Austinson (T-43 | 82) and Jessica Madry (T-57 | 86).

COACH YOUNG QUOTE
"Our team score reflects a solid round today, but we did not make the most of our opportunities. There were too many big numbers and we couldn't convert birdie chances. There is still one more round to be played, and our main focus is to start strong and maintain that play to the finish for our home crowd. Thank you to all the fans that came out today -- it was truly awesome!"
