BELLE VERNON, Pa. — Freshman Bianca Ligotti and senior Lydia Tufts guided the Saint Anselm women's golf team to its best round of golf in program history as the Hawks lead a field of seven teams at the Vulcan Invitational hosted by California (PA) University at the Cedarbrook Golf Course on Sunday.
 
Saint Anselm shot a 324 (+40), a new program record for a single round, as they sit in first place out of seven women's golf programs after the first day of competition. This surpasses their previous best round from their tournament in West Chester, Pa., two weeks ago, a round in which the Hawks shot a 340 (+52).
 
The teams competed on the Par-71, 5,819-yard course, with Millersville (PA) finding itself four strokes (+44) behind the Hawks in second place, and California (PA) is in third place at +52. Heading into tomorrow's second and final round, Saint Anselm's women's golf team has a chance to win its first golf tournament against Division II competition.

How it Happened
  • Ligotti led Saint Anselm as she shot a career best 79 (+8), recording her second career birdie on Monday, placing fourth overall out of 32 golfers.
  • Tufts tallied the only eagle of the afternoon by any competitor as she sank the par four, 298-yard 12th hole in two strokes. She finished the day with an 81 (+10) as she ranks seventh on the individual leaderboard.
  • Freshman Carley Iannetta had the best round of her young career, recording a team-high three birdies as she shot an 82 (+11), tying with classmate Isabella Scioletti, who also shot an 82, as the duo is tied for 8th place.
  • Sophomore Ella Graham rounded out Saint Anselm's five golfers on Monday, finishing in 26th with a round score of +27.
