BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Playing on its home course at Bellingham Golf & Country Club, the Western Washington University women's golf team holds a two-stroke lead following the first round of the 2021 WWU Spring Invitational.
 
Battling windy conditions and a firm golf course, the Vikings carded a 34-over-par team round of 322 to lead the three-team field. Northwest Nazarene is in 2nd place two strokes back at 36-over-par 324 and Saint Martin's is in 3rd place at 51-over-par 339.
 
WWU second-year freshman Sophia Schmidt leads the 16-player field carding a 5-over-par 77 in the opening round. Schmidt, a Bellingham native, holds a two-stroke advantage over Northwest Nazarene's Ragan McGilvery (+7, 79) entering Tuesday's final round.
 
Second-year freshman Elise Sumner is tied for 5th at 9-over-par 81 and freshman Dani Bailey and sophomore Sarah Shea are tied for 7th place at 10-over-par 82.
 
"We were tested today, even on our home course, with the windy conditions and a firm golf course," said WWU Director of Golf Luke Bennett. "Sophia had a very rock-solid opening round and I saw some good things out of the team. We need to have a cleaner finish and I think the team is ready to have a great final round on Tuesday."
 
The final 18 holes of the 36-hole tournament begins teeing off on the par 72, 5,804-yard layout Tuesday morning at 9 am. Final results from the tournament will be posted on WWUVikings.com/WG_Invite.
