Scola turned in her second-best 18-hole score of the season, finishing with a 73 (+3) after the first round of Quinnipiac's 36-hole tournament. Scola led by two strokes over Hartford's Brooke Nethercott and Fairfield's Olivia Brooks. Scola was also one of seven players in the 32 player field to card a score lower than 80. She also led the field in par 4 scoring (4.08) as well as pars (14). Scola parred eight of the first nine holes she played before a double bogey on Hole 13 and a bogey on 18, with a birdie on 15 put her at three-over.
Emily Ribbins (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands) finished tied for 13th place with an 84 (+14). Ribbins bogeyed her first hole of the day before recording back-to-back birdies on holes No. 6 and 7. Ribbins was one of five players in the 32-player field to record two birdies on the first day - including teammate Jenn Whaley (Farmington, Connecticut).
Alexa Gentile (Avon, Connecticut) finished tied for 20th with an 88 (+18) followed by Whaley in 22nd place with a 90 (+20).
The second round of the two-day tournament resumes from TPC River Highlands on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 9 a.m. Quinnipiac will pair of Delaware State and the Quinnipiac "B" team, while Fairfield, Albany and Hartford will pair up.
