AU Women Third After Opening Round At Music City Invite

The fall-ending 12-team Music City Invitational began on Monday (Oct. 30) just outside of Nashville, Tenn., and Ashland University's women's golf team finished the first 18 holes in third place.
 
With an opening-round 311, the Eagles trail only Lincoln Memorial and Carson-Newman (306 each) heading into Round 2.
 
NOTABLES

• Junior Emma Conway paced the AU team effort on Monday with a round of 76, including a birdie on hole No. 3, to be tied for sixth place individually. Sophomore Klaira Paramore (two birdies) and senior Maillis Simovart (one birdie) are tied for 11^th with matching rounds of 78.
• Rounding out the team play for the Eagles were freshman LeeAnn Harker (79, tied for 2^nd) and junior Grace Grant (83, tied for 46^th, two birdies).
• The best Ashland round on Monday, however, came from someone who is in the field as an individual – freshman Riley McKenzie, whose 75 puts her tied for third. McKenzie had three birdies.
• Also playing as individuals are senior Paige Lawson (89, tied for 63^rd) and junior Alyson Veverka (98, 70^th).
