LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Lehigh women's golf team braved chilly conditions with a touch of wind and rain to shoot 300 in the opening round of the Patriot League Championship Friday at the Bucknell Golf Club. Three Mountain Hawks are in the top 10 individually as Lehigh matched the fifth-lowest single round total in program history.

Lehigh sits in second place in the six-team field, five strokes behind Navy. The Mountain Hawks are one stroke ahead of Boston University, while defending champion Richmond is in fourth place (305), followed by host Bucknell and then Holy Cross.

Â
One stroke behind Lu is sophomore Yuki Zhu, who shot 74 and is tied for sixth place. Zhu also made one birdie in her round, with it coming on the 11th hole.
Â
The third Mountain Hawk in the top 10 is first-year Stefania Fedun, who is tied for 10th place after carding a 76. Fedun made one birdie in her opening round, on the par 3 16th hole.
