COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Indiana University women's golf team opened the Lady Buckeye Invitational with a 36-hole total of 638 (317-321) on the first day of play. Leading the way for the Hoosiers was junior Elaine Harris, who is tied for 15th after the day with a total of 155 (78-77).
"Obviously, we are a bit disappointed with our performance today," head coach Clint Wallman said. "We did a lot of good things, but there are definitely areas that we can improve on. We will regroup tomorrow and post some good numbers to head into the Big Ten Tournament with some momentum."

Rounding out the IU lineup is senior Kendal Hake, who is also tied for 60th at 168 after carding rounds of 82 and 86 on the day.
