ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - The Embry-Riddle women's golf team braved the wind and the rain to complete round one of the Flagler Fall Slam in 315 shots on Monday to reside in eighth place. The 13-team field includes some of the top programs at the NCAA II and NJCAA levels. Two top-25 teams in the NCAA II (No. 5 Flagler and No. 16 Palm Beach Atlantic) and three top-5 NJCAA programs (No. 1 Daytona State, No. 4 Eastern Florida State, and No. 5 Seminole State) are included in the tournament, based on the latest Clippd rankings. Both rounds are being held at the par-72, 6,062-yard Marsh Creek Country Club.

All five Eagles are in the top half of the 76-player field after day one. A downpour rolled through the area just before the start of the round, and another shower passed over about halfway through.
