Vail, Colo. - Kaitlin Higginbotham fired an opening round three-under 69 to tie for the lead at the Golfweek Conference Challenge at Red Sky Golf Club.

Led by Higginbotham, the Coastal Carolina women's golf team posted a nine-over 297 putting them in a tie for second with Oregon. They are three back of tournament leader UC Davis.

Starting on the back nine, Jessica Alexander shot a three-under 33 opening nine but a late double bogey pulled her back to even for the day, putting her in four-way tie for sixth. Brittany Henderson carded an opening round 77 followed by Frida Castillo (79) and Courtney Boe (81).
