WILSON – Georgia Page carded a two-under-par 70 in the opening round to position the UNC Pembroke golf team in first place at the Barton Intercollegiate on Monday at the Wilson Country Club. 
 
A native of Sydney, Australia, Page's 70 in the first round marked a career-best for the redshirt senior, who currently leads the individual tournament. Amanda Hamrin (+3) sits in second place and is five strokes behind Page, while Hanne Sofie Borgen (+10) is in a two-way tie for 14^th place. Toni Blackwell (+11) finished the opening day inside the top-20, while Samantha DeBusk (+14) rounded out the scoring for the Braves in 23^rdplace. 
 
Chessa Lee (+7), who is competing as an individual, logged a seven-over-par-79 to work her way into a five-way tie for 5^th place. Elizabeth Ritchie (+13), who is also competing as an individual, stayed just inside the top-20 with a first round total of 85.

The Braves will close out action at the Barton Intercollegiate on Tuesday at the Wilson Country Club.
