KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. - The IUPUI women's golf team opened play at the Kiawah Island Spring Classic on Sunday (Feb. 24), posting an opening round 313 at Oak Point Golf Club. IUPUI sits tied for 36th at 25-over among the 49-team field heading into Monday's second round, to be played at Osprey Point. 

Marion Debove, Reece Malapit and Amelie Svejda all carded opening round 78's on Sunday while freshman Kara Blair rounded out the scoring four with a 79. Sophomore Sloane Winders capped the Jaguars' lineup with a first round 80. 

Svejda was hot early, getting to 1-under through five holes and was at an even par 36 at the turn. Her second nine was a little more problematic as she had a pair of late double bogeys push her from 1-over to 6-over. Debove was similar as she was 2-over after making a birdie on the par-5 No. 4, but followed with a par and four straight bogeys to end her day. 

Malapit's lone birdie of the day came on her final hole of the afternoon on the short par-3, No. 11. She made a team-high 11 pars on Monday, including four straight at one point. 

"Today went pretty mediocre. I felt great about my long irons, but there were some tough conditions to get through physically and mentally," Malapit said. "I'm just glad I'm back and healthy to play a consistent 18 holes. I'm excited and confident for tomorrow and the next day because I have a good idea on how the course will play out."

Blair had a team-high three birdies on Sunday and Winders played better as the round wore on, including a string of six straight pars during her 18. 

Coastal Carolina leads the field at 2-under while Delaware is second after an even par 288. Lehigh's Reagan Jahn is atop the leaderboard after a 4-under 68 on Sunday. 

IUPUI will be paired with UT Arlington for Monday's second round and will begin play at 1:30 p.m.. Live results will be available via GolfStat and a full recap and results will be posted to IUPUIJags.com afterwards.
