Day One Results

New Orleans - Tulane's 31st-ranked women's golf team combined for a 12-over par 292 and sits in a tie for seventh place, while sophomore Janine Fellows led the Green Wave with an even-par performance and is tied for 10th place following the opening round of the 2009 NCAA East Regional at the Mark Bostick Golf Course at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla.

The Green Wave will tee off at 11:50 a.m. (EST) on Friday and live scoring and results will be available on www.GolfStat.com. The top eight teams from each of the three regional site will punch their ticket for the national championships, May 19-22, in Owing Mills, Md.

Playing in its first NCAA Regional since 2005, and its sixth appearance overall, the Green Wave received a pair of solid outings from Fellows and fellow classmate Linn Gustafsson, who carded a 1-over-par 71 during the first round and is sitting at No. 11 heading into Friday's second round.

Fellows came up with six birdies to overcome a pair of double bogeys and one bogey. She registered five birdies on the back nine, while Gustafsson was saddled with three bogeys but posted two birdies for her first round score.

The freshman trio of Samantha Troyanovich, Daniela Holmqvist and Ashley McKenney each got off to a slow start today.
