FORT MYERS, FLA. -- The Creighton women's golf team stands in first place after the first round of the BIG EAST Championships Presented by JEEP, with junior Katie Allen alone in first place after tying her career-low with a one-under 71. Each of Creighton's top four golfers shot or tied their career-low scores on the 84 degree sun-splashed day in southwest Florida.
Creighton's 295 team score is the program's best 18-hole performance since at least 2003, and was 21 shots better than its previous low this spring. The Bluejays had never previously shot better than a 316 in six previous BIG EAST Championships.
