SORRENTO, Fla. – Freshman Julia Neumann fired a 1-under 71 and the College of Charleston women’s golf team is tied for 13th place after Sunday’s first round of the UCF Challenge at the RedTail Golf Club.

The Cougars shot a team score of 299 (+11) and are within six shots of the top eight as many teams are separated by only a few shots.

Neumann totaled four birdies on the day, including a chip-in on her last hole of the day, and is tied for 13th individually.

Senior Vanessa Koechli carded a 2-over 74 with one birdie for her round and is tied for 35th place.

Freshmen Stacey Tomlinson (+4) and Mary Chandler Bryan (+6) and junior Kathryn Miranda (+6) rounded out the lineup for the Cougars.

The Cougars will tee off Monday in the second round of the tournament starting at 9:24 a.m. and will be paired with Louisville and Missouri.
