The field features seven top-100 programs with North Florida (tied for 6th) leading the pack at No. 43 in the GolfStat.com rankings.
"We had quite a bit of nerves going today as this was our first round of the year and a couple folks making their collegiate debuts," said head coach Sarah Trew. "We definitely made some mistakes out there as a result of rustiness. We are looking forward to the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and put up a good round tomorrow. If we can eliminate some of the big numbers and avoid compounding mistakes, we should see a big improvement."
Edmonds led the FGCU five-some as she tied for 38th after going five-over par. Posie Farrelly (Lutz, Fla./George Steinbrenner HS), who made her collegiate debut, was just a stroke behind to tie for 52nd, while Josephine Bertelsen (Vejle, Denmark/Campus Vejle/Western Texas College) shot 79 to tie for 57th. Emma Grace Messenger (Montgomery, Texas/Legacy Prep Christian Academy) sits 66th after shooting 81 to round out the four counting scores for the day.

On the front side, Edmonds had bogeys on the first three holes before finishing the round strong with six straight pars.
