04/14/06 10:00PM

SOUTHERN PINES, NC - William and Mary’s women’s golf team is the surprise of the tournament in the early going at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships. The Tribe is currently in second place with 318 strokes, one stroke behind conference-newcomer Georgia State and thirteen strokes clear of the rest of the field. The tournament is being held concurrently with the men’s championship at the Pinehurst Resort, on the Number 6 course. The women’s tees are set for measurements of par 71 and 5,944 yards.

Senior captain Sayde Murray (York, PA) is hunting for her second individual medal of the season, going into the clubhouse with a score of 75 to lead all golfers. Three sophomores from the College are tied for seventh in the standings, as second-team All-CAA honoree Erika Oldenkamp (Hinsdale, IL) joined classmates Misha Harvey (Forest, VA) and Marissa Sprick (Windermere, FL) each shot 81 in the round. Freshman Seung Lee (Kennett Square, PA) cannot be counted out either, as she gives the Tribe five spots in the top 20, tied for 17th at 83 (+12).

The hunt for the Championships resumes tomorrow with 18 rounds of play starting at 9 AM.
