WILLIAMSPORT, PA – All five golfers in the University of Rochester lineup recorded scores under 80 as the Yellowjackets ended day one in ninth place at the Northeast Elite Invitational hosted by Penn State Altoona at Williamsport Country Club.
 
Rochester's standing could still change at the end of round one, as a little over half of the competing teams finished their opening round on Sunday. Seven of 18 schools still have holes left to play after a delay forced teams to tee off later in the day, with play getting suspended due to darkness around 7 p.m.
 
Overall, the Yellowjackets carded a team score of 300 (+16) for round one. Gettysburg sits in first place with a 288 team score, followed by Franklin & Marshall (291) and Penn State Altoona (293). UR is currently sixth among teams that completed their first round.
 
UR's top three scorers were Henry Zhong, Galen Fowles and Anderson Palm who each recorded a 3-over par round of 74. Both Zhong and Fowles recorded four birdies on their scorecards, while Palm had three holes under par on the day.
 
Zhong, Fowles and Palm are ranked tied for 22nd on the individual leaderboard after 18 holes.
 
First-year Tommy Wang finished with a 7-over round of 78, notching two birdies on his scorecard, while senior Arjun Aujla was one shot behind with an opening round score of 79 (+8). After the opening day of action, Wang sits in a tie for 62nd place, while Aujla is tied for 67th.
 
Teams that need to complete round one on the second day will resume at 9 a.m., with the second and final round of the tournament scheduled to start at approximately 10 a.m. on Monday.
