Beavers Rally On Back Nine At NCAA Regionals
May 06, 2019 | Women's Golf
CLE ELUM, Wash. – The Oregon State women's golf team caught fire on the back nine in the opening round of the NCAA Division I Regionals on Monday.
Â
The Beavers were 7 over with a total of two birdies on the front nine before rallying with 12 birdies coming in at the par-72, 6,306-yard Tumble Creek Club.
Â
Oregon State sits in a tie for seventh place with a 5-over 293 and is only four shots out of one of the coveted top six spots in the 18-team field.
Â
No. 1 USC leads with a 7-under 281, while Northwestern (4-under 284), Washington (3-under 285), Arkansas (1-under 287), San Jose State (1-over 289) and UCF (1-over 289) round out the top six.
Â
The top six teams at the Cle Elum Regional will advance to the NCAA Division I National Championships, which will be played May 17-22 at Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark.
Â
The second round of the three-day, 54-hole tournament begins at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday and live scoring is available at golfstat.com.
Â
"I'm happy with our start today," Oregon State head coach Dawn Shockley said. "We did the little things well and eliminated the big numbers. It was one of our best all-around team efforts all year. Everyone was solid.
Â
"As I told the team, it's not won today but it can be lost. We are in a good position and need to continue having fun and focus on our goals."
Â
Mari Nishiura had two bogeys and seven pars on the front nine before getting hot on the back side with four birdies to finish with a team-best even-par 72.
Â
Nicole Schroeder also played well, shooting a 1-over 73 with three birdies, two bogeys and a double. She won the individual title at last year's NCAA Regionals with a 10-under 206 at the University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, Wis.
Â
Olivia Benzin and Ellie Slama had matching scorecards on Monday with two birdies, 12 pars and four bogeys to card a 2-over 74.
Â
Susie Cavanagh had three birdies on the back side to finish with a 3-over 75.
