UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.- As the sun shined down on the Penn State Blue Course, the Penn State women's golf team showed why they love playing on their home course. After one round at the Nittany Lion Invitational, Penn State is sitting in second place, having posted a round one score of 293 this afternoon. Penn State is five strokes over par with two rounds to play as they work to defend their title from last season.
Senior Christina Vosters (Bethany Beach, Del.) picked up where junior Ellen Ceresko (Jefferson Township, Pa.) left off last year as Vosters stormed out to an early lead. Vosters shot a first round 69 to go three under par after the first round. Vosters holds a one-shot lead over Jennifer Ha of Kent State. Ceresko is tied for fifth after shooting a first round 72. Junior Catherine Herrera (Houston, Texas), playing as an individual, opened the tournament by recording a score of 74, equaling two shots over par, tying her for 15th place.
Yale holds a four shot lead over Penn State after one round of golf. Tee times for tomorrow, September 28, are scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. For more information, please refer to the Penn State Athletic website at www.gopsusports.com.
