"I am very pleased with our results today," said head coach Rhyll Brinsmead. "The team showed they have been putting in the work this offseason. One-through-five we had many highlights today and what I am most pleased about is no one played their best. It is a great feeling to coach a team that loves competing!"
 
Individually, senior Ines Lescudier and sophomore Dulcie Sverdloff led the Owls with a one-over par 73 in their opening rounds and are tied for third.

"After a rough start to my round I am very pleased with the way I came back and scored so well," said Sverdloff. "Having a positive attitude definitely helped me today. I did not play my very best, so I am excited to get back out there tomorrow and help the team succeed."

* The Florida State Match-Up Tournament is a very unique event and the first one of its kind in NCAA Women's Golf.  When the invitations were sent out, six teams were initially invited to Tallahassee to play at the Southwood Golf Club. Those six teams were then able to contact a team member of their choice to partner up with them for the tournament. The twelve teams will tee off in twosomes for the first two rounds and then in a final round shotgun in threesomes. The Match-Up Portion of the tournament will be determined by taking the best four scores from the partners (which is a total of ten players) and the worst score to make the Match Up total. At the end of the tournament, the teams with the lowest score will win the Match Up.
