SAN ANTONIO – The No. 48 Old Dominion women's golf team sits in sixth place after 36 holes at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational, hosted by UTSA at the San Antonio Country Club.
"We can play a lot better than what we showed today," head coach Mallory Hetzel said. "Golf is just really hard sometimes. We can bounce back tomorrow and move up the leaderboard. One good round will go a long way in helping us achieve our goals. We are looking forward to the challenge."
The Monarchs put together a 38-over 614 (304-310) across two rounds on the par-72, 6,131-yard course. Leah Onosato matched a season-low 73 in the second round and is in a tie for sixth place overall at 5-over 149.
A junior from Kumamoto, Japan, Onosato was best in the field in par-5 scoring at 2-under and was one of two competitors with an eagle on Tuesday. Additionally, she shared the second-best mark in par-3 scoring and racked up 22 total pars.
Jana Melichova sits just one stroke back of Onosato in a tie for 12th overall at 150 (74-76). Melichova's five birdies on the day was tied for the third most among the field. Noemie Sudron is tied for 27 after posting a 156 (74-82). Justine Lauer (80-81-161) and Pilar Muguruza (82-80-162) rounded out the scoring five for ODU.
