Susie Maxwell Berning Classic Live Scoring

NORMAN, Okla. - The Coastal Carolina women's golf team finished the first day of the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in 15th place after shooting a first round score of 309.

Florida State leads the tournament with a four-under score of 284; four strokes better than second place team No. 11 Texas A&M.

Chanticleer senior Kaitlin Higginbotham, playing in her hometown, led Coastal with an 18-hole score of 76 to tie for 43rd after 18 holes. Higginbotham played two-over par on her first nine, but four bogey versus two birdies on her back nine led to the plus-four score.

Eugenia Guerra shot a five-over 77 on the day to finish tied for 49th overall.  Guerra carded two birdies and 11 pars in the round but was undone by two double-bogeys on her front nine.

Junior Brittany Henderson and freshman Frida Castillo are tied for 57th in the 90 competitor field after turning in identical six-over par scores of 78.  Henderson posted five bogeys on her first eight holes; however, she recovered to shoot one-over the rest of the way.  Castillo was one of only three competitors to birdie the par-4 385-yard 14th hole. 

Jessica Alexander finished one stroke behind her duo of teammates with a 79 to tie for 64th.  Following a bogey and two double bogeys in her opening five holes the junior played one-under over the next seven holes before trading pars and bogeys to close the round. 

The Chants will tee off for 18 holes on Monday beginning at 9 a.m
