MYRTLE BEACH, SC - After only one round of play at the 2005 Unlimited Potential/Bay Tree Classic, the outcome is still very much up in the air, with William and Mary at 12th in the team standings, seven shots ahead of Colonial Athletic Association rival Old Dominion and three other teams. Middle Tennessee State has taken an early six-shot lead over second-place College of Charleston and the rest of the field.

Leading the charge for the Tribe today was senior Sayde Murray (York, PA), who is tied at 21st, four shots back of the leaders, after carding +5 on the par-72, 6,007 yard course at Bay Tree Plantation. Sophomore Erika Oldenkamp (Hinsdale, IL) stumbled slightly on the back nine to come in with an 81, while classmate Marissa Sprick (Windermere, FL) found renewed strength after the turn to improve five strokes on the return leg and finish at 83 (+11). Freshman Seung Lee (Kennett Square, PA), after leading the Tribe at the Marshal Invitational, settled back a bit on day one, shooting 86, and goes into the weekend hungry to make up ground. Rounding out the squad this week is senior Pantipa Jinphiphadhana (Bangkok, Thailand), who will be aiming to improve on a first round 87 in the last two rounds of her first tournament of the season.

The Tribe is back in action tomorrow and Sunday with the second and third rounds.
