She then notched seven-straight pars, followed by a double bogey on the 13th and two bogeys on her final two holes to move to 9-over 153 for the tournament.
Senior Stephanie Arcala (Oceanside, Calif.) was the only Aztec to cut strokes off her day-one total, carding a team-low 4-over 76 to jump from 66th to 53rd with a 10-over 154. Sophomore Alessia Knight (Bologna, Italy) had five pars in a row to start the round until she notched back-to-back bogeys on holes 6-7, 10-11 and 16-17 to log her second consecutive 78 and move up from 66th into 63rd at 12-over par.
SDSU sophomores Christine Wong (Richmond, B.C.) and Gina Clark (Murrieta, Calif.) both fired rounds in the 80s and are currently in a tie for 89th and 94th place, respectively.
