HUNTINGTON, WV - Youth was served on the first day of the fall season for William and Mary women’s golf, as freshman Seung Lee (Kennett Square, PA) fired a pair of 77s on the opening day to tie for fifth at 10-over. Tammy Mahar of host Marshall leads after the first two rounds at 148, six shots ahead of Lee. The Lady Herd Invitational is being held at the Guyan Golf and Country Club, where the course is a par-72, 6,035-yard gem. Marshall leads the eight-team field, and W&M sits in fourth, thirty-two shots back.

Individual success was not limited to just Lee, as the Tribe’s other four linkswomen were one stroke apart and placed in the top 26 heading into day two and the final round. Sophomore Marissa Sprick (Windermere, FL) recovered from an opening round 85 to shoot 77 and finish the day tied for 16th. Sayde Murray (York, PA) was a model of consistency, as the senior shot 82-81 to tie for 20th. Erika Oldenkamp (Hinsdale, IL) tied for 23rd after making another eight-shot improvement between rounds for the Tribe (86-78). Junior Melissa DePuy (Naples, FL) tied for 26th after scoring 83-82.
