VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - After one round at the TPC Virginia Beach Invitational, William and Mary’s women’s team holds a one-shot lead over Winthrop University with one round to go. The nine-team field includes a broad geographic spread, with teams from as far away as the Los Angeles basin joining the Tribe and Tidewater schools Hampton and Old Dominion. Winthrop’s Erin White leads the 47-player field at +1.

Sophomore Misha Harvey (Forest, VA) sits only one shot off the lead in a tie for second, herself one shot ahead of teammate Sayde Murray (York, PA), in a three-way tie for fourth after shooting 75 this afternoon. Kara Siford (Manassas, VA) had an outstanding round, posting a career-low 77, which beat her previous best by three strokes. Classmate Marissa Sprick (Windermere, FL) is tied for 12th with 79, and freshman Ellie Costello (Wilmette, IL), competing as an individual in her second tournament, is tied for 19th after shooting 81 on the par-72, 5,867 yard course. Sophomore Erika Oldenkamp (Hinsdale, IL) is the Tribe’s final competitor, shooting an 82 on the afternoon to tie for 22nd going into the final day.

The tournament, and the fall season with it, concludes tomorrow with one round.
