MORGANTON, N.C.—The High Point University women’s golf team finished action on the first day of the Mimosa Hills Intercollegiate Sunday (April 2) at the Mimosa Hills Country Club (Par 72 – 6,099 yards) in Morganton, N.C.

The Panthers sit in a tie for seventh place after shooting 25-over 313. Bethune-Cookman leads at 15-over, while Gardner-Webb (+16) and host Appalachian State (+18) sit in second and third, respectively.

We have some work to do but after a poor round today are excited to still be in the hunt.”

Junior Cayla Smith led the Purple & White with a 2-over 74 and is tied for seventh on the individual leaderboard. Freshman Samantha Vodry is tied for 16th at 5-over 77 and senior Danielle Fuss is tied for 31st at 7-over 79.
