RESULTS
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Freshman Tara Thomas led the way for the Bison on a busy opening day of the Bucknell Invitational. Thomas posted rounds of 74 and 75 to move into the top 10, and Bucknell is fifth in the team standings in a field of 11.
Bucknell compiled team scores of 315 and 310 for a 36-hole total of 625. Navy is comfortably in front with a 582 composite, followed by Lehigh (610), Long Island (618), Howard (622) and Bucknell. The Bison are six strokes clear of sixth-place Wagner.
Thomas fashioned six birdies on the day, two in the first round and four in the second. She sits in a four-way tie for ninth place at 9-over-par 149. Navy's Tori Smith is the individual leader at 3-over 143 (74-69). Teammate Mara Hirtle is two shots back.
Elsewhere for the Bison on Saturday, Sun Woo Jeon shot 75-79, Tatum McKelvey shot 82-77, Morgan Sohosky carded 84-79, and Kelsey Yi shot 87-83.
The round of the day for the Bison came from Cristina Canales, who followed a morning 79 with a 2-over 72 in the afternoon. Canales, playing as an individual, is in 14th place after a second round that featured a pair of birdies to go with 13 pars. She was 4-over on a three-hole stretch from 5-7 and 2-under on the other 15 holes.
Also playing as individuals are Sahana Paravantavida (81-75), Kayla Yi (82-75) and Morgan Hennessy (87-78). That indie foursome combined for what would have been a 300 team score in round two.
The third and final round gets underway Sunday at 9 a.m. Bucknell will be paired with Howard and Wagner, starting on holes 5-9.
