McKevitt & Eisenbeiss Sit In Top 10

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - North Florida women's golf put up a strong performance in the first round of play, as it holds the lead by two strokes at 6-over 294 at the Chattanooga Classic on Sunday afternoon.

Sara McKevitt and Christin Eisenbeiss helped lead the Ospreys to their first-place start after they both scored rounds of even-par that put them in the top 10 on the player's leaderboard. They will look to keep the momentum going in an effort to win back-to-back team titles to follow up their UNF Collegiate win from earlier this month.
