MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Samford women's golf team sits in first place after the first round of the Alabama State Invitational Sunday at the RTJ Golf Trail at Capitol Hill (Par 72, 6,033 yards).

"It was a blustery, cold and windy start," Samford head coach Joe Davidson said. "This is a tough course. We need to continue to play better and better each round."
Â
Samford shot a first-round score of 317 to place first after the opening round. Western Illinois sits in second in the seven-team field with a team score of 334.
Â
Sophie Membrino leads Samford, sitting in first place in the 35-player field. Membrino fired a score of 76 in Sunday's round. Mary Kate Horton and Christian Williams are tied for third overall with identical scores of 79.
Â
Bailey Dunstan is tied for seventh, posting a score of 83. Allison Dusek placed 10th in the field with a score of 85.
Â
Two Samford players are competing in the tournament as individuals. Kelley Topiwala is tied for fifth with a score of 82. Allison Howard is tied for 16th at 87.
