Duke Leads After First Round Of ACC Women's Golf Championship

April 18, 2003

Clemmons, N.C. - Duke leads after the first round of the 15th Annual ACC Women's Golf Championship. The Blue Devils shot a first round 310, 26-over par and leads NC State (315, 31-over par) by five strokes. Wake Forest is in third with a 32-over 316, and North Carolina is in fourth with 320 (36-over par). Florida State is in fifth with a 41-over 325, and Maryland is sixth with 327 (43-over par).

The biggest story of Friday was the weather. The teams played their first round in driving rain and a gusting wind. The temperatures were in the low 40s causing scores to be higher than normal.

"Leading by anything today, I am going to be happy," said Duke Head Coach Dan Brooks. "Weather like this sort of equalizes things. The players who are not used to shooting in the low 70s are used to getting it up and down. The weather just pulls everybody together and that is what it looks like to me when I look at the pack of scores."

NC State's Courtney Pomeranz leads all individuals with a three-over par 74. She leads Duke's Virada "Oui" Nirapathpongporn and Wake Forest's Ashley Hoagland who shot 75, four-over par. Duke's Liz Janangelo, North Carolina's Meaghan Francella, and Wake Forest's Nuria Clau are in a three way tie for fourth at 77, six-strokes behind the leader.

Duke's Kristina Engstrom and Leigh Anne Hardin are tied 12th with a 79 and Niloufar

Aazam-Zanganeh is 17th with an 80. The round of 310 for the Blue Devils is the highest

round of the season. Duke is the seven-time defending champions of the ACC Championship.

"I would say these are the worst conditions we have played in all year," said Brooks. "I think we will get a little bit more weather like this tomorrow also. We trained well in it today and hopefully tomorrow we can put some more good scores on the board."

The ACC Women's Golf Championship is being contested at Salem Glen Country Club in Clemmons, N.C. The course is 6,348 yards and par is 71.

Second round play will begin Saturday at 8:30 am.
