FAYETTEVILLE, Pa. - Playing for the first time in over a year, the Boston University golf team is tied for first after the opening round of the FDU Invitational at Penn National Golf Club & Inn.

The Terriers battled challenging conditions for much of the day, as temperatures were only in the low 30s, and played their best golf on the second nine. They finished with a team score of 314 to sit atop the leaderboard along with host Fairleigh Dickinson. Sacred Heart is six strokes back in third while Wagner is 12 shots back in fourth.

"It's our first tournament of the spring and there's lots of optimism," head coach Bruce Chalas said. "Our practice work ethic is noteworthy."

Three Terriers are in the top five after 18 holes, including sophomore Alice Fan, who is fourth thanks to a 76. She is four shots behind the leader. Freshman Flair Kuan and graduate student Zhangcheng Guo both shot 78 to tie for fifth, with Kuan firing an even-par 36 over her final nine holes. Sophomore Kristen Min Ju Kim carded an 82 to tie for 14th while junior Hanako Kawasaki is tied for 18th after an 84.

This is the third straight tournament that BU has held at least a share of the lead entering the final round. The Terriers will look to complete their wire-to-wire victory on Saturday. A shotgun start is scheduled for 10:15 a.m.
