Eastern Washington women's golf is enjoying its first home tournament in 13 years after hosting the first round of the Eagle Invitational on Monday. Eastern is in third place with 296 strokes after 18 holes at Indian Canyon Golf Course.

"Today was a good day. We played solid all day and were able to post a really good team score," head coach Brenda Howe said. "Brooke [Mahler] and Carisa [Padilla] played very steady and they played a huge role in our overall score. It's a tight leaderboard and we'll need to continue the consistency tomorrow."

Freshman Brooke Mahler continues to impress in her first season with the Eagles, shooting a 73 and is tied for seventh on the individual leaderboard. Sophomore Carisa Padilla also recorded a 73 to share seventh with Mahler.

Redshirt-junior Meghan Singh and senior Jaelin Ishikawa each shot a 75 to hold a tie for 16^th place.

Sophomore Kami Twining is in 24^th after a 77 in the first round.

The Eagles are two strokes behind Montana State for second on the team leaderboard, with a two-stroke lead on CSU-Bakersfield, who is in fourth. Weber State leads the Invite with a score of 291.
