Despite hot and windy conditions, scores from the first day of the Concordia Invitational were lower than last year. At the end of the day three teams finished within eight strokes of the lead and five individuals shot 80 or better at the Wildflower Golf Course in Detroit Lakes, Minn.

Southwest Minnesota State University leads the team competition by a single stroke after the first 18 holes. The Mustangs fired a 326 and lead second place St. Thomas, who shot a total score of 327. The University of North Dakota is in third place after firing a 334.

In the individual competition, Southwest Minnesota junior Erin Oakland posted a 76 to take a two-shot lead into the final day of competition. Oakland is two better than Sarah Luken of North Dakota and three ahead of Carley Roach from Augustana and Maureen Hardwick of St. Thomas.

Twenty-Two players are within 10 shots of the lead heading into the final 18 holes. Among the logjam at the top is a pair of Cobber golfers. Freshman Afton Pender backed up her sixth place finish in Friday’s Cobber Open by shooting an 83. She is tied with six other golfers for 10th place. Senior Christie Brink came in with an 85 and is tied for 17th place.
