Round one of the women's North Coast Athletic Conference Championship was suspended midround at the par-72, 5,644-yard Avalon at Squaw Creek in Vienna, Ohio. The round will resume at 8 a.m. on Saturday, to be followed by round two at 9:30 a.m.

The College of Wooster women's golf team had a majority of its round in, as the first pairing off included sophomore Sarah Buchholtz, who completed her round right before the suspension of play. Buchholtz's 97 was three off a collegiate-low and was headlined by a birdie on the par-4, 250-yard 16th hole.

Junior Paige Nicely was on a strong stretch as the horn sounded to suspend play, as she strung together four consecutive pars, including one on the long par-5, 472-yard 14th hole. The short holes were Nicely's strong suit, as she was 1-over-par on par-3 holes for the round. She will resume on No. 16 on Saturday.

Junior Morgan Erdmann's 11-over-par was leading Wooster's team, and she too will start on No. 16 when play resumes. Erdmann was off to a strong start at 2-over-par through seven, following her birdie on the par-3, 143-yard sixth hole up with a par on the par-4, 283-yard No. 7.

Junior Abby Haywood's strongest stretch came just before the weather stoppage as well. A birdie dropped on the 278-yard, par-4 No. 12, with pars going in on either side of the circle on the card.

Senior Alexis Neal sits at 34-over-par with two holes remaining in her round.

Wooster is currently in seventh place. Denison University has a one-stroke lead over DePauw University with the two programs still to make the turn in round one.
