"We got off to a rough start as I don't think we were prepared to play this morning," Drake head coach Leanne Smith commented. "We had a couple of kids battle back pretty well as Danielle (Brooks) and Hadley (Jennings) got it going after a little bit and finished on a positive note."
Junior Hadley Jennings (Trenton, Mo.) turned in the top-scoring effort for the Bulldogs carding a 79 to enter the clubhouse tied for 35th.
Sophomore Danielle Brooks (Red Wing, Minn.) was one stroke off Jennings' pace recording an 80, to tie for 40th place, while senior Chelsey Falk (Glenwood, Minn.) fired an 82 to sit tied for 53rd place.
Sophomore Ashley Brooks (Red Wing, Minn.) and freshman Katie Clausen (Hinton, Iowa) registered scores of 86 and 92 to finish their rounds in 65th and 74th places, respectively.
"We just had too many big holes to be competitive," said Smith. "We're going to get some practice in this afternoon and hopefully we'll come back with our games sharper in the morning."
Drake continues play at the FIU/Pat Bradley Invitational on Monday (Oct. 22) starting at 8:30 a.m. CT.
