The quest for an Ohio Valley Conference women's golf championship will require a hefty comeback if the Murray State Racers are to claim their ninth title at GreyStone Golf Club in Dickson, Tenn.
The Racers' 307 in Sunday's opening round put them 11 shots off the lead of Jacksonville State who carded a 296, while defending champion Morehead State was three shots back after a 299.
MSU owns eight OVC titles, the most of any team in the league, but now needs to make up several shots in Monday's round two.
Morgan Cross and Alexandra Lennartsson led the way for MSU in round one each with a 3-over-par 75 as they shared sixth place. Delaney Howson carded a 78 and was in 12th place. MSU's Alli Weaver and Gina Nuzzo each turned in a 79 and shared 18th place in the field of 38 players.
Eastern Kentucky was in fourth place at 310, while Austin Peay (316), Tennessee Tech (330) and Eastern Illinois (330) made up the rest of the field.
MSU's Cross and Lennartsson were four shots off the first round lead of Jacksonville State's Lourdes Lopez Caballo who had a 1-under-par 71.
The GreyStone course is playing 5,964 yards and to a par of 72 this week for the OVC Championship.
