\n\tWith all competitors teeing off from the first tee, the Owls got off to a blazing start.
\n\tSenior Jake Naese<\/a> went birdie-birdie to begin his round, while classmate Aidan Emmerich<\/a> and sophomore Tommy Murdough<\/a> both birdied the par-5 second to put the team at two-under par through two.
\n\tEmmerich continued his hot start with an eagle on the par-5 sixth, closing his front nine at one-under par 35.
\n\tNaese posted an even-par 36 on the front, while freshman Nicholas Pisarski<\/a> found his groove on the back side.
\n\tPisarski birdied three of the first five holes on the back and closed at one-under 35 over his final nine holes and at one-over par 73 on the day.
\n\tThe round of one over was good enough to put Pisarski in a tie for 16th place individually, while Naese is one shot behind his teammate in a tie for 21st.
\n\tJust one team finished at under par on the day, UNC Wilmington at two-under par 286. East Carolina sits in second at 292, with St. John’s, Columbia, and Old Dominion all within eight shots of the pace.
