TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Kicking off the 2016 slate, the James Madison women's golf team completed the first round of the Florida State Match-Up at the Par 72, 6,525-yard Don Veller Seminole Golf Course on Friday afternoon.
Sophomore Maddisen Cox (+6, T-44th place) led the way for the Dukes with a strong performance on the back nine after a slower start to the day. Sitting at 8-over par following the front nine, Cox finished with three birdies including two on the final three holes.
As a team, JMU (+30) currently sits in 12th place amid a strong field that includes eight squads that entered the weekend ranked among the top 44 teams in the nation.
Right behind Cox are senior Kelsey Solan (+7, T-53rd), sophomore Laura Gomez-Ruiz (+8, T-57th) and freshman Jordan McKelvin (+9, T-60th). Sophomore Carley Cox (+13, 68th) rounds out the group of Dukes competing in the field of 68 golfers.
Host school Florida State leads the pack at 5-over par with South Carolina a close second at 6-over par. Individually, Texas A&M's Maddie Szeryk will head into round two with a 3-under par to top the leaderboards.
The Dukes will return to action tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 13, for round two of the Florida State Match-Up.
QUOTING COACH
"I think today was the first step towards a successful spring season," Head Coach Sarah Sargent said. "We needed this round to get back into tournament mode. Each player had their struggles throughout the day, but each of them made the adjustments mentally that we have been going over in practice. I'm looking forward to seeing how we progress throughout this tournament and hopefully come out with some positives to take back with us to Harrisonburg."
