LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL – Senior Manisa Isavas shot an even-par 72 in Sunday's opening round of the FIU Pat Bradley Invitational to lead Toledo to a fourth-place standing. The tournament is being played on the par-72, 6,288-yard Cypress Course at Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club.

Isavas is tied for sixth place and three shots behind first-round leader Leighann Cabush of Memphis. James Madison's Laura Gomez and Daytona State's Ji Sun Kang are tied for second place at two-under par 70, while Florida Atlantic's Kadi Pallastrone and Florida International's Meghan MacLaren are tied for fourth place at one-under par 71.

Two strokes behind Isavas are senior Sathika Ruenreong and freshman Caitriona Griffin at two-over par 74, good for a 16^th-place tie in the individual standings. Rounding out the Rocket lineup are senior Morgan Salm (76/T-27^th) and freshman Pimchanok Kawil (78/T-40^th).

"I'm happy with how we started, but I do think we left some shots out there even though everyone in our lineup shot in the 70s," Toledo Head Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "We hung in there and stayed within striking distance of first place. You can't win a tournament on the first day but you can lose one on the first day."

Freshman Natcha Daengpiem is competing as an individual and tied for 55^th place at eight-over par 80.

The tournament's second round will be played on Monday with the third final round played on Tuesday.
