Tulsa junior Nadia Majidizadeh sits in a five-way tie for first place after opening round action Friday at the Rebel Intercollegiate on the Ole Miss Golf Course, while the Golden Hurricane women are in 10^th place overall.

Majidizadeh, from Tulsa's Union High School, carded a one-under par 71 on what was a pretty clean scorecard. She birdied the par-5 second hole, and then went back even with a bogey on the par-4 sixth hole. Majidizadeh played even the rest of the way until a birdie on the par-5 15^th hole put her at one-under par and she stayed there with pars on her final three holes.

As a team, the Hurricane turned in a 21-over par 309 score and sits just six strokes behind third-place and 12 strokes off first-round leader Troy (297).

Tulsa freshman Mackenzie Medders, another local product from Jenks High School, turned in a two-over par 74 and sits in 12^th place after the first 18 holes. Senior Antonia Von Wnuck carded a score of 80 for 61^st place, while fellow senior Alex Haun is in 79^th place with a score of 84 and freshman Olivia Jackson is one stroke back with 85 for 85^th place.

The Hurricane also had three players competing as individuals, where their scores do not count in the team scoring. Nikki Marquardt is in 31^st place with a score of 77, followed by Johanna Samuelsson's 79 for 53^rd place and Brydie Hodge in in 79^th place after a round of 84.

Second round action takes place on Saturday with tee times beginning at 8:51 a.m., and the final 18 holes will be played on Sunday.
