QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Today was not our ideal start to the season, but I know that some of our team haven't played in a tournament in quite a while," head coach Jay Goble said. "The positive from today is that our sloppy play around the greens can be cleaned up. Dylan (Kim) played well, but she missed some putts that I know she would normally make. We'll use our experiences to learn and get better for tomorrow."

WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor begins Saturday's second round from the 10th tee with Maymon up first at 8:50 a.m. CT. She'll be followed in 10-minute intervals by Lonardi, Gateau-Chovelon, Byers and Kim, respectively. Live scoring is available at www.birdiefire.com.
