Wingate players Ashley Denton (Wendell, N.C.), Andrea Velasquez (Anaco, Venezuela) and Allie Osberg (Chester Springs, Pa.) each posted a five-over-par 77 Monday. The Bulldog trio is tied with three other golfers for third place.

Bulldog junior Anna Lee Croom (Asheboro, N.C.) rounded out Wingate’s counters on Monday, recording an 83. Freshman Megan Levy (Zebulon, N.C.) carded a first-round 89 for the Bulldogs.

On the individual leader boards, UNC Pembroke junior Katja Dammann tops the chart. She shot a 75 Monday.
