FRANKLIN, Ind. – Behind a school-record 290 in the first round, the Eastern Michigan University women’s golf team is tied for first place with the University of Illinois after the first day of the Shootout at the Legends. The Eagles and the Illini finished the day at 595, six strokes ahead of third place Grand Valley here at the par 72, 6,356 yard Legends of Indiana Golf Course.

Senior Catherine Fortin (Beauceville, Canada-Polyvalente St. Francois) fired a two-under 142 (71-71) to reside in second place behind UI’s Seul Ki Park who finished the day with a 139 (66-73). The other Eagle in the top 10 is junior Courtney Aili (Chelsea, Mich.-Chelsea), who carded rounds of 73 and 77 to finish with a 150 and in a tie for seventh place.
Junior Stephany Fleet (Dewitt. Mich.-Dewitt) is tied for 12th place with a 151 (73-78) and freshman Darby Peters (Lake Orion, Mich.-Lake Orion) is currently 18th after the first day with a 152 (73-79).
