Kansas City, Mo. – The Missouri Southern women's golf team is in first place after day one of the 2022 Rockhurst Fall Invitational hosted at Swope Memorial Golf Course.
 
Iratxe Fernandez-Cano Aldasoro and Filippa Guldberg are tied for third place individually after both shot a 77 over the first 18 holes. Guldberg had a pair of birdies, while Aldasoro had a birdie of her own.
 
Aida Nunez and Lily Allman were tied in 7^th as the pair both shot 82 on day one. Nunez had three birdies over the 18 holes. Kylie Carnes is tied for 13^th with a first-round 86.
 
The Lions are nine strokes in front of second place Rockhurst. William Jewell is in third, while Quincy is in fourth and North Central (Mo.) is fifth.

"Both squads played well today tee to green," said head coach Mike Wheeler. "We had a lot of birdie looks but didn't make as many putts as we would have liked to. The greens are tough and the kids burned a lot of edges. Perhaps tomorrow they will find the center of the hole. I'm very proud of all their effort today. They all fought hard."
 
The ladies will play a final 18 holes tomorrow beginning at 9 am.
