TEMPE, Ariz. (UNLVRebels.com) - Playing in its final regular season tournament before the Mountain West Championships, UNLV Women's Golf had a productive first round Friday at the PING/ASU Invitational in Tempe, Ariz., as the team shot a 1-over 289 to sit it fifth place out of 14 teams heading into round two. The Rebels also saw two of their golfers - senior Alexandra Kaui and junior Mackenzie Raim - shoot under par to finish the day in the top 10 on the leaderboard.
Kaui turned in her best round of the spring to sit tied for sixth out of 80 individuals with a 2-under 70. The score also matched her second-best single-round score of the 2016-17 campaign, with her other round of 70 coming in the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown last October. Raim came in one shot behind her at 1-under 71, which put her in a tie for 10th going into Saturday. The first nine holes for the pair were particularly dominant as Kaui posted three birdies on the back-nine while Raim knocked in two of her own, with the two combining for eight total on the day.
A trio of Rebels - sophomores Elizabeth Prior and Alyssa Getty and freshman Alli Kim - each shot a 2-over 74 to sit in a tie for 36th, while senior Harley Dubsky rounding things out with a 13-over 85. Kim, in her first collegiate season, is competing at the tournament as an individual.
Tournament host No. 5 Arizona State and No. 15 Baylor each turned in first round team scores of 10-under 278 to sit atop the leaderboard after 18 holes, with defending NCAA Champion Washington and No. 17 Arizona nine strokes behind them in a tie for third at 1-under 287 - just two strokes ahead of UNLV. Oregon State, Kansas State and SMU all finished five strokes behind the Rebels in a tie for sixth at 6-over 294.
ASU's Monica Vaughn recorded the top round of the day to take a four stroke lead at 8-under 64, followed by Baylor's Dylan Kim at 4-under (68) in second. Three players - Arizona State's Roberta Liti, Kansas State's Paige Nelson and Baylor's Fiona Liddell - shot a 3-under 69 to end the day tied for third. Sitting in sixth with Kaui at 2-under is Baylor's Amy Lee, Arizona's Krystal Quihuis, and Washington's Wenyung Keh. Seven other players are tied for 10th with Raim at 1-under.
The second round gets underway Saturday at 8 a.m. PT at ASU's Karsten Golf Course. UNLV pairing times are as follows: Harley Dubsky 8:45 a.m.; Alyssa Getty 8:54 a.m.; Elizabeth Prior 9:03 a.m.; Makenzie Raim 9:12 a.m.; Alexandra Kaui 9:21 a.m.; and Alli Kim 9:30 a.m.
