The St. John's women's golf team opened play at the Towson Invitational with a 297 (+9) total on Monday to hold an eight-stroke lead at Eagle's Nest Country Club in Phoenix, Md.

Linda Wang is alone in the lead after firing a three-under 69 in the first round of action. The senior dominated day one, draining a tournament-best five birdies through 18 holes. The Fresh Meadows, N.Y., native was a bogey-free four-under through 14 before her only two miscues came on holes three and four. Wang bounced back from a pair of bogeys, closing out the day with a birdie on the par-three sixth hole to maintain a four-shot lead.

Cloe Clocchiatti joined Wang inside the top-five, as the freshman sits four-shots back of her fellow teammate. The Padua, Italy, native turned in a first round one-over 73 on the day, placing second overall in the standings. Clocchiatti's opening round effort was highlighted by a trio of birdies.

Two other Johnnies finished the day inside the top-15 with sophomore Jessie Kweon and junior Andrea Sanchez posting scores of 75 and 77 to sit in fourth and 11th place, respectively.

Freshman Jill Beglin carded an 80 to finish the day tied for 20th place. Senior Kaitleen Shee sits one stroke back of Beglin with an 81 to tie for 24th place.

Freshman Laia Barro rounded out scoring, signing for an 82 to place 27th overall.

St. John's will begin its second round tomorrow at 9 a.m. and will be grouped with Towson and Navy.
