She began the front nine with a birdie on No. 1 and a par on No. 2, before making birdie on No. 3 and a bogey on No. 4.

"This wasn't a great week, but it wasn't without its bright spots," said head coach Ross Cash. "Hailey really seemed to find her game on day one and the coaching staff got to get our eyes on Presley for the first time in competition. The message to myself and the team is it was just a below average week, and I'm not going to read too much into it and I don't think they should either. It's over and UNC Greensboro is next."

The Bulldogs are back in action on Oct. 8-10 at UNC Greensboro's Grandover Invitational at Forest Oaks Country Club.
