CARLSBAD, Calif. – Florida State junior All-American Mirabel Ting is in a tie for 10^th place in the individual standings, and the No. 2 ranked Seminoles are in a tie for 16^th place in the team standings after the first round of the NCAA Division I Championships at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa. Only two teams (Vanderbilt and Oklahoma State) played under par golf as the winds blew harder than usual during the afternoon wave of teams. The No. 1 ranked (Stanford, plus 5), No. 2 ranked (Arkansas, plus 9), No. 3 ranked (South Carolina, plus 9), and No 4 ranked (Florida State, plus 7) teams all finished above par in the first round.

No. 24 ranked Vanderbilt is in first place after the first round play with a 6 under par score of 282. No. 25 ranked Oklahoma State is in second place with a 4 under par score of 284. Bailey Davis of Tennessee leads the individual standings with a 5 under par score of 67. Eva Svensson of LSU, Lauren Kim of Texas, Catherine Park of Southern California are tied for second place in the individual standings with 4 under par scores of 68.

The field of 30 teams will be cut to 15 after three rounds of stroke play (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) with the top 15 teams playing in the Race to the Final Eight on Monday. The top eight teams following Monday’s fourth round of stroke play will advance to match play on Tuesday. The match play championship match on Wednesday will decided the 2025 national champion.

“Overall, we salvaged the round,” said Florida State head coach Amy Bond. “The more you play this golf course, the better and more comfortable you’ll get. That’s really the key. This afternoon was hard and the greens were extremely firm. We need to take advantage tomorrow when the conditions are a little bit more subdued and the greens are softer.”

Ting, who is playing in her third consecutive NCAA Championship event birdied the final two holes of the round to finish under par for the seventh time in the last eight rounds and three tournaments. Her 2 under par score of 70 was her 22^nd round of even par golf or better in 23 rounds this season. Ting totaled four birdies during the round (two on the front and two on the back) and was below par on both her first and second set of nine holes.

Ting enters the second day of the championship on Saturday just four strokes out of the individual lead.

Junior All-American Lottie Woad finished with an even par score of 72 and is in a tie for 27^th place in the individual standings. She totaled a team leading five birdies including three straight after making the turn to the back side. Woad was two under par after making the turn with three birdies. She closed the round with five consecutive holes scored at par.

Woad’s five birdies are tied for the seventh most among the 156 players in the field for the national championship.

Florida State begins play at 9:52 a.m. (ET) on Saturday and will play with Oregon and Texas for the second consecutive day.
