Eisenbeiss and Herrick Lead Way in Top 15

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 49 North Florida women's golf starts its week at Seminole Legacy Golf Club in ninth place after the first round of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional.

The Ospreys finished Monday with a score of 17-over, which sits only six strokes behind the three teams tied for fourth at 11-over. They will be aiming for a top-four team spot in the regional to advance to the NCAA Championships.

The ninth-place finish through day one for UNF is their best starting placement for a regional in program history. They are one of nine top-50 teams in the Tallahassee Regional and currently have leads over No. 26 Illinois and No. 46 Denver.

Christin Eisenbeiss and Mindy Herrick both hold a share of 15th with seven combined birdies between the two of them through round one. It is the first time in program history that a pair of Ospreys sit within the top 15 through the completion of any round in an NCAA regional, while it is also the second time Eisenbeiss has placed in the top 15 after the first round.
